Secure document authentication for global recognition

Your UK documents need to work internationally. That’s where the apostille comes in – it’s the official stamp that makes your paperwork valid in over 127+ countries that signed the Hague Convention.

Think of it as a passport for your documents. The FCDO checks your document’s signatures and seals against their database. If everything matches, they attach the apostille certificate. Simple as that.

How our apostille process works

  • Step 1: Submit your document
    Drop off at our Westminster office by 9 AM or post with tracked delivery. Include your order number.

  • Step 2: Verification and certification
    We check FCDO eligibility immediately. Solicitor certification handled in-house, same day if needed.

  • Step 3: FCDO processing
    Daily hand-delivery to Milton Keynes Legalisation Office. Processed overnight with signature verification.

  • Step 4: Collection
    Ready by 3:30 PM the next working day. Collect in person or choose courier delivery.

Total timeline: 48 hours for standard documents. An email scan is included free (competitors charge £15-25 for this).

Note: If FCDO needs to verify a new signature, processing may take one extra day. We’ll notify you immediately.

What documents can be apostilled with our next-day service?

UK documents need apostille certification for international acceptance. Without it, foreign authorities reject them.

DIY applications through FCDO take 2-3 weeks by post with no guaranteed delivery times. Signature verification can add another week.

Our FCDO-registered status means:

  • Direct submission access – no postal delays

  • Signature verification expertise – problems spotted before FCDO does

  • Same-day rejection handling – immediate fixes

  • 24-hour processing for urgent needs

Critical: FCDO doesn’t refund rejected applications. Submit the wrong document or miss a certification requirement, and you lose the full fee plus weeks of time.

We know exactly which documents need solicitor certification, notarisation, or direct FCDO submission. Fifteen years of experience means zero guesswork and zero costly mistakes.

Multi-country apostille service for international needs

One apostille works in all 127 Hague Convention countries. The same apostilled document is valid in Germany, France, Spain, Australia, the US, and 122 other countries.

Non-Convention countries (UAE, Qatar, Egypt, China) need additional embassy attestation after an apostille. We handle both processes.

Common multi-country needs:

  • Corporate documents for European expansion

  • Educational certificates for global university applications

  • Powers of attorney for international property purchases

  • Commercial contracts across multiple jurisdictions

Bulk processing available with volume discounts for document sets.

What documents can be apostilled with our next-day service?

We handle most UK-issued personal and business documents — even those requiring solicitor certification before legalisation.

Common documents include:

  • Birth, marriage, and death certificates
  • Degrees, diplomas, and school letters
  • ACRO police certificates
  • Powers of attorney
  • Company documents (certificates of incorporation, resolutions, etc.)

All included in quoted price. No hidden fees. Price includes VAT and all processing costs.

Documents received by 10 AM are apostilled and ready by 3:30 PM the next working day. That’s our standard next-day service.

For our regular UK apostille service, it’s 3-4 working days. The FCDO’s direct postal service takes 15-25 working days.

When you have fixed deadlines: visa appointments, court dates, business registration deadlines, job offer document submissions, or overseas wedding requirements.

Also for international property purchases with set exchange dates, or business mergers requiring documents within tight timescales.

Tracked services only:

  • International: DHL Express – full tracking, 1-3 days worldwide, signature required

Your documents never go in regular post. We photograph documents before sending and email you confirmation when dispatched.

FCDO apostilles follow the 1961 Hague Convention standards. Each includes 10 required data fields: country of origin, signatory details, official seals, and unique reference numbers.

Service guarantee

Our services are backed by a full apostille acceptance guarantee. Should the FCDO reject your documents, we will refund your money or assist with resubmitting them for the apostille.

Exceptions:

Suppose the wrong documents have been apostilled. You need to ensure that you present us with the correct documents.

(*) For the apostille next-day service to be guaranteed, – if you send ready certified documents – the signature of the UK public official who signed/certified the document must be registered on the FCDO database.

The UK official’s signature or seal must be registered in the FCDO database to qualify for apostille certification. If it isn’t, the FCDO will not issue an apostille certificate! 

Payment options:

We prefer payment via bank transfer. If you prefer online payments or PayPal, I will send you an online/PayPal invoice for the amount + transfer fee via email so you can make a secure online payment with a debit/credit card.

Your payment is 100% refundable after paying for your order, but only if your document(s) have not yet been processed with an apostille, authentication, translation, solicitor or notary public service and no shipping labels have been utilised. Please read our full refund policy for more information.
