Apostille with Notarised Documents – Expedite Service
What is an Apostille?
An Apostille is a form of authentication that is applied to documents for use in countries other than the UK.
The Notarisation of Documents is usually carried out by a Solicitor or Notary in the UK.
To Apostille the company documents a Notary will apply a seal to the affidavit which is attached to the documents. Once the Notary have Notarised the Documents the Foreign and Commonwealth Office will then attach an apostille to the documents, this confirms that the Notary’s signature and seal has been certified.
Why use an Apostille?
Once the documents have been Notarised and Apostilled the seals and signature on the documents will be confirmed. The apostille with notarised documents can then be presented to any country which recognises the Apostille.
The receiving party (could be an individual, business or government body) should then accept the signatures or seals on the apostille, which will allow your documents to be treated as genuine documents without further evidence or proof required.
