Obtain the apostille in London
Regardless of whether you are a natural person or a legal entity, in certain situations, you may need an apostille for documents required by the institutions of other countries, where you live, or you have various legal matters to complete (purchase a property, start a business, etc.).
The apostille represents a certificate that is issued by the authorities of the state that issued a certain document, and which is required for specific categories of documents. The apostille provides further proof of the fact that the documents meet the legal requirements, and it also provides further reassurance that the notary who completed the documents is authorized to do so, as the person is recognized by the local institutions of the country that issued the document.
Please mind that this type of document is needed only for specific countries, and if you are interested in this matter, you can always address our notary public in East London. The apostille is necessary in countries that are part of the Hague Convention.
If the documents required by the institutions of a foreign country need to have the apostille, please mind that you should prepare your documents in due time, as this procedure can’t be completed in a matter of days, as the documents will be first prepared by our notary, then sent to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, which will issue the apostille, and then to the embassy or consular mission in the country where the said institutions are located.
