Apostille Service for Sets of Company Documents
If your business is operating overseas then you may be asked for an apostille certificate for company documents. We can prepare a bound set of documents for you to save you time and money. A fully inclusive service with professional presentation and solicitor certification included.
Customers often contact us with several company documents that need to be legalised with the apostille. This could be a combination of various Companies House and incorporation certificates. People often asked, ‘can one apostille cover all documents?’.
The answer depends on several factors-
1. What the documents are?
2. Which country has requested them?
3. Will they accept a set of legalised company documents with one apostille?
We recommend you check the final point with the person asking for the documents.
There are two ways we can legalise your documents
Apostille on Each Document – We can issue an apostille on each company certificate or document. This includes checking the documents, solicitor certification and attaching the apostille to each document.
Creating a Set of Documents – When a group of company documents relate to the same company we can create a set of documents with one apostille attached. Our solicitor will check the documents and prepare a cover sheet detailing what documents are contained in the set. The cover sheet is then certified by our solicitor and added to the set of documents that we legally bind together. We can only do this for documents we can verify against the records held at Companies House.
It is essential that you check if a set of documents will be suitable for your circumstances. Some authorities may not accept sets of documents and may request that each document has its own apostille.

Points to Consider When Preparing Document Sets for Apostille
One apostille. One process. Complete peace of mind.
Binding documents into a ‘set’ and adding one apostille can save a lot of money.
It is essential that you check what is being asked of you. We are happy to offer advice and to discuss your documents, but we cannot speak for every company or organisation in every country.
If in doubt, process each document with its own apostille or talk to the person asking for your documents.
Some documents cannot be added to sets as they need independent verification or certification. This includes power of attorneys, contracts, agreements or documents relating to banking, finance or payments.
Will bound sets be accepted in your circumstances?
The simple answer to this is to ask the person requesting the documents if they will accept a set. There is no official answer and requirements vary by organisation and by country. We can offer advice on how to order a set of documents but each customer should check on their own circumstances.
What does a bound set of documents look like?
Our solicitor will check all of your documents and prepare a cover sheet.
The cover sheet will state who the documents are for and where they were issued. The solicitor may vary the description depending on the documents.
