Why businesses partner with us

Less administration for your team, and an experienced UK office handling the processing your documents need.

Fast, reliable processing

Our standard apostille service is typically completed in our office within 1–2 working days of receiving the correct documents. We check what each document needs before we process it.

Pricing for repeat business

Preferential arrangements may be available where there is regular, demonstrated volume. We look at your actual requirements before confirming any terms.

Document expertise

Guidance on solicitor certification, paper and electronic apostilles and embassy legalisation, so documents are prepared correctly the first time.

UK and international delivery

Completed documents can come back to your office or go direct to your client, with UK and international delivery options.

Support for regular customers

Deal directly with our Coventry office team, who get to know the documents you send and the countries your clients need them for.

Optional Partner API

For businesses looking to automate their ordering, our Partner API allows approved partners to submit orders and track their progress directly from their own systems. API integration is entirely optional.

Who we work with

Large volumes are not required. Smaller practices with genuine, recurring needs are very welcome.

Solicitors and notaries

Send us the documents you have certified or notarised and we take care of the apostille and, where needed, embassy legalisation. You continue to manage your own client relationship.

Recruitment and TEFL organisations

Help candidates and teachers get UK degrees, teaching qualifications, criminal record checks and references ready for use overseas, without your team managing each step.

Education, immigration and visa businesses

Coordinate UK document requirements for students, applicants and families, with advice on the processing each document needs for the country it is going to.

Translation, DBS and document agencies

Add UK apostilles and legalisation to the services you offer, with an established UK office doing the processing and return delivery to your customers.

Our partner services are for UK documents. Documents issued in other countries normally need to be legalised in the country that issued them. If you are unsure about a document, ask us and we will check.

A straightforward process, with no unnecessary paperwork.

Tell us about your business

Use the enquiry form below to tell us the documents you handle, your recent UK volume and anything you need doing now.

2

We review your needs

We look at your existing demand and the services your clients need, and come back to you with practical guidance.

We agree the arrangements

We confirm the services, document requirements, how you will order and any partner terms that apply.

You start sending orders

Send documents through the agreed ordering process. We keep you updated and return them as arranged.

Flexible ordering

Start simply. Integrate when it helps.

You do not need a developer to work with us. Most partners send orders through our standard ordering process, and we agree the details that suit your business when you start.

For approved partners with their own systems, our Partner API lets you place document orders and check their progress without leaving your platform. It is entirely optional.

Partner API, if you need it

  • Submit document service orders from your own system
  • Check order status and tracking information
  • Free API access and onboarding: you pay only for the document services you order
  • Available to approved partners; services are confirmed for each partner

Common questions

No. Smaller practices with genuine, recurring requirements are welcome. Partner arrangements depend on demonstrated demand and the services you need, not on forecast volume alone.

No. Most partners send orders through our standard ordering process. The Partner API is an optional extra for approved partners who want to order from their own system.

Our partner services are for UK documents. Documents issued in other countries normally need to be legalised in the country that issued them. If you are unsure about a particular document, tell us about it in your enquiry and we will check.

No. It depends on the document and the signature or seal it already carries. Some public documents can be apostilled as they are; others need verification or certification by a solicitor or notary first. We will tell you what each document needs. The authority receiving the document always has the final say on what it accepts.

Our standard apostille service is typically completed in our office within 1–2 working days of receiving the correct documents. Documents that need verification or certification first can take longer, embassy legalisation times vary by country, and delivery time is additional.

We offer UK and international delivery options. Documents can come back to your office or go direct to your client. The service, cost and tracking available depend on the destination.
