Using Documents
Overseas
A document issued or signed in the UK may require additional
authentication before it can be accepted in another country.
The exact process depends on the destination country and the
type of document involved.
Depending on your circumstances, the process may involve
notarisation followed by an Apostille or another form of
legalisation.
Because requirements can differ between countries and can
change over time, we recommend contacting us before arranging
certification so that the requirements for your particular
document can be considered.
What is an
Apostille?
An Apostille is a form of authentication that may be
required when a UK document is being presented in another
country.
Whether an Apostille is required will depend on where the
document is being used and the requirements of the
receiving authority.
Not sure what you need?
Send us details of your document, where it was issued and
the country in which you intend to use it.
Our team can then discuss the appropriate next steps with you.

FAQs
What should I bring to a notary appointment?
The documents required will depend on the matter. You may
need to provide the original document together with
appropriate proof of identity and any supporting documents.
Contact us before your appointment so that we can advise
you what to bring.
Do I need to sign the document in front of the notary?
Certain documents may need to be signed in the presence of
the notary. We therefore recommend that you do not sign a
document in advance unless you have been advised that it is
appropriate to do so.
Do I need an Apostille?
This depends on the type of document, the country in which
it will be used and the requirements of the receiving
organisation. Contact us with those details and we can
discuss the appropriate process.
How long does notarisation take?
Timescales vary depending on the document and whether
additional legalisation is required. We can discuss the
likely process and timescale once we know the details of
your matter.
Can you help with documents being used overseas?
Yes. We regularly assist clients with documents intended
for international use. The requirements differ depending
on the destination, so please tell us where the document
will be used when making your enquiry.
