Legalisation
For
many countries, the signature and seal of a Notary is sufficient
for the document to be accepted.
In other countries, the document will require the
Notary’s signature and seal to be legalised.
Legalisation is the
process where the Notary’s identity is verified by a certificate
being affixed known as an Apostille.
In the UK, the Foreign & Commonwealth Office fulfils this
role.
You can make your own
arrangements by attending the public counter at the Legalisation
Office in Milton Keynes.
Alternatively you can instruct me to assist you.
I have
access to a Premium Service that offers a same day counter
service in central London for business customers only.
I will
use an agent to attend the Legalisation Office in central
London. The processing time is approximately 3 to 4 hours.
I can also assist by making arrangements for an agent to
attend the Legalisation office in Milton Keynes. The processing
time is approximately 3-4 working days. Legalisation and Agent’s
fees are payable.
Instead
of or in addition to the Apostille certificate, some countries
require their Consulate, Embassy or High Commission to verify
the Notary’s identity and affix their own seal.
You can make your own arrangements or instruct
me to do so. Should you
instruct me to do so, I will use an agent to attend a London
based Consulate. Consular Legalisation and Agent’s fees are
payable.
I am able to advise of each
countries’ specific requirements.
