Apostille

A document that has an apostille certificate, or is apostilled, is one which has an official certificate issued so that it will be recognised in member states without further legalisation.

Usually the Apostille Certificate is issued by the state from which the document originates. Once a document has had an Apostille Certificate attached to it confirming the authenticity of signatures and seals it can be presented to any country which recognises the Apostille. The authority receiving the document should then accept the seals or signatures as true and valid without requesting further evidence or proof.

Apostille Certificates issued in the UK will be accepted by countries which have signed up to the Hague Convention.

MSP Secretaries Limited can arrange for your documents to be notarised, legalised or apostilled as required.
