The Official Apostille Service

Apostille.org.uk supply official UK Apostille Certificates for UK documents. The Apostille Certificate is used to verify that the document is genuine so it will be recognised when presented overseas. It is also referred to as legalisation.

It may be the first time you have ever had to request an Apostille Certificate and it may quite possibly be the last. An Apostille Certificate is only ever required if you have dealings outside of the UK which involve some form of official paperwork. As the cost of air travel is now at an all time low more and more UK citizens are traveling and carrying out important transactions outside of the UK. The three most common requirements for an Apostille Certificate are overseas marriage, foreign property purchases and business transactions or contracts.
