Sample Apostille Certificate
What Does The Apostille Look Like?
The UK apostille certificate is a piece of paper that is attached to another document. It is a physical certificate that is glued to another physical document. For example, a UK birth certificate will have the apostille added to the back of the genuine registrar issued certificate. The apostille is signed by an officer at the UK Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and also stamped. The apostille stamp is an embossing stamp (not an ink stamp). The embossing mark is applied through both the document and the apostille.
There is an e-apostille service, but it is only available for a limited number of documents.
Can I get a Scan of the Apostille?
Yes, we can provide a scan copy of the apostille when it has been issued by the FCDO. Before dispatching your document we will scan the apostille and the page of the document that contains the relevant signature or stamp that the apostille confirms.
If you require a scan copy of the apostille you need to request this at the time of ordering or add it to your order before completion. We do not keep copies of the apostille once they have been dispatched.
