An Apostille. What is it?

The Hague Apostille or Apostille, is an independent sheet of paper that is issued in the UK by the FCDO (Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office) that verifies the authenticity of the document it is attached to. It will show a signature, seal and emboss that guarantees its legality. This process was introduced by the “Hague Convention” replacing the previous long and often costly legalisation process.

What documents can have an Apostille?

Official documents issued by the government, e.g. original Birth/Death/Marriage/Civil partnership certificates issued by the General Registrar’s office. These must have an original signature, stamp, seal or be a certified copy issued by the department. Alternatively, documents can be certified by a Notary Public or Solicitor e.g. degree certificates or passport copies.
