Some documents can be legalised with an apostille certificate without needing further official certification. These types of document come under our ‘apostille only’ service. The normal timescale for this type of document is 1 to 2 working days although it can take a little longer if we experience problems verifying the signature on the document.

Our fully inclusive ‘solicitor and apostille’ service ensures business documents are certified when necessary. We arrange for our solicitor to correctly certify company documents to save you time and expense. The majority of company documents need further certification by our solicitors before the apostille certificate can be arranged. The normal time scale for this type of document is 2 working days.

Academic documents, awards, diplomas and professional qualifications require further document checks. Most of these documents are issued with the apostille in 2 working days. Our ‘solicitor and apostille’ service will ensure your documents are checked and certified by one of our solicitors to make sure the apostille is issued correctly.

It may be possible to legalise multiple documents under one apostille certificate which offers considerable savings. This does depend on the type of document. Please contact us to discuss how we can save you money. This may incur a small additional handling charge but will save on the overall cost of multiple apostilles being issued.

For documents being presented in countries which are not members of The Hague Conference (and relevant Convention) it may be necessary to carry out further legalisation. This typically requires the issuing of an apostille certificate on your documents and then arranging further legalisation or attestation with the embassy. Please contact us for the latest prices and processing times. Find out more about our embassy attestation.
