Apostilled Documents
Some countries require UK company documents to be legalised before you can use them there. We arrange an apostille for your documents so you can use them overseas.

What is an apostille?
An apostille certifies that an official document is genuine. The document is signed and authenticated by a notary, and the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office attaches the apostille certificate. You can then prove your business credentials in other countries.
Apostilles can only be provided for documents issued in a country that is part of the 1961 Hague Convention, which the UK is. They can only be used in other countries that are also part of the convention.
Apostilled documents are normally needed by non-UK residents who run a UK limited company, for example to set up an overseas office or branch, or to open a business bank account from outside the UK. Each document needs its own apostille certificate.
Documents we can apostille
- Certificate of Incorporation
- Memorandum and Articles of Association
- Share certificates
- Other documents on request (an additional charge may apply)
Do I have to visit the UK to get my documents apostilled?
No. We have your documents signed by a UK solicitor or notary and apostilled for you. They are sent to your overseas address ready to use.
Can you send apostilled documents to a bank or another person?
Yes, on your request. Send the request by email from the registered email address we hold for you.
