With the free movement of people across the EU there has been an increase in people moving to other countries to seek employment. If you currently work outside your home country then you may be asked to provide a certificate of residence or prove that you pay tax in the UK. These documents are often needed to avoid paying tax in your home country as well as the UK.
Documents being legalised for use in Oman only need an apostille certificate. Previously documents had to be attested with the embassy this is no longer necessary as Oman is a member of the Hague Convention.
We regularly provide the apostille certificate for documents being used in Oman. Since January 2012 it has only been necessary to legalise documents for Oman with the apostille. No further embassy attestation is required.
There are many people born in the UK who need to prove their nationality or require their birth to be registered overseas. To ensure the relevant authorities overseas accept the UK birth certificate they may require an apostille to be attached to your document.
We understand that many of our customers may not know what an apostille is. You are not sure why the apostille exists and do not know which apostille service to choose. Let us provide you with some straight forward advice to help you choose the best service for you.
All apostilles may look the same but there is considerable difference between apostille service providers. You need to be sure that you are getting the best service and also value for money.

We often hear from customers that have degree certificates and other academic documents that were issued by Universities or Colleges from outside the UK. Ideally these documents need to be legalised in the country of origin
We are pleased to provide a wide range of document legalisation services for our clients. Working with government offices, solicitors, consulates, high commissions and embassies we process thousands of documents every year.
Different countries have different tax laws relating to personal and business income. If you have earnings in one country but are resident or a citizen in another it may be requested that you have tax residency documents legalised to avoid double taxation.
A certificate of residency for tax purpose is a formal document. Residency certificates are issued by HMRC and were introduced when the UK government established agreements with other countries to avoid people being taxed twice on their earnings.
Presenting your document overseas in a country in which English is not the predominant language will often necessitate the translation of your documents. It is always advisable to check if the authority requesting the Apostille also require a translation to ensure they can better understand the content of your UK document.
