Apostille Services
Official apostille certification and legalisation of documents issued in the UK, USA, and Canada. Accepted in all 124 Hague Convention member countries worldwide.
What Is an Apostille?
An apostille is an official government-issued certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document so it can be recognised in foreign countries. It is issued under the Hague Convention of 1961 and is the internationally accepted method of document legalisation between member countries. If you need to use a UK, US, or Canadian document abroad — for business, legal, or personal purposes — an apostille is typically required.
