UK Hague Apostille & Legalisation Services

Apostille certificates are also commonly known as:

  • Apostille seal
  • Apostille legalisation
  • Apostille legalization (American spelling)
  • Hague Apostille
  • Hague Convention apostille
  • Hague Apostille certificate
  • Document legalisation

All of these terms refer to the same official process of issuing an apostille certificate for documents intended for international use. The apostille is attached to the document and embossed with an official government seal or stamp to confirm authenticity for overseas authorities under the Hague Apostille Convention.

What is a Hague Apostille Certificate?

A Hague Apostille certificate is issued by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) in the UK. It verifies that a UK document, signature, stamp, or seal is genuine and legally recognised in countries that are members of the Hague Convention.

Rapid Apostille provides fast apostille and legalisation services for personal, educational, legal, and commercial documents throughout the UK.

Notarisation and Hague Apostille Services

Notarisation is often required before a document can receive a Hague Apostille. A Notary Public certifies the authenticity of a document or confirms that a copy is a true copy of the original. Once notarised, the document may then be submitted for FCDO apostille UK processing. The apostille confirms the Notary Public’s signature and seal are genuine. For countries outside the Hague Convention, embassy legalisation or consular attestation may also be required after the Hague Apostille certificate has been issued.
