  • The Apostille is issued by the Legalisation Office of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), and confirms the signature and seal of the Notary or public official who signed it, making the document ready to be used abroad.

    The Apostille replaces the need for embassy legalisation in countries that have signed up to the Hague Apostille Convention.

  • For documents going to countries that are not signatories to the Hague Apostille Convention, you might need attestation by the relevant Consulate or Embassy in addition to the Apostille.

    A confirmation from a Chamber of Commerce might also be necessary for some commercial documents.

    Email us at info@londonnotary.net for more information.
