WE ARE YOUR ONE STOP SOLUTION FOR ALL YOUR NOTARIAL NEEDS
Any documents issued in the UK, being presented overseas, will require an apostille stamp if being used for official purposes.
In the UK, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) are the only official body authorised to issue apostilles. Anyone can apply for a stamp, though the public are only able to do so via their postal service.
If you would like an apostille urgently, you will need to use an Apostille Service through an agent like Kent Notaries. Agents can work with the FCDO and visit their office in Milton Keynes to both collect and deliver your documents.
We have two apostilles services on offer for you. There is a standard apostille service, which takes 10 to 15 days; alternatively, you can use our premium apostille service, which takes 5 to 7 days.
Upon completion by the FCDO, we can further process the documents if required via any Chamber of Commerce, Embassy or Consulate and either return the documents to you or we can forward them directly to the foreign destination on your behalf. Scanned copies and tracking numbers will be emailed to you.
what is an
An apostille certificate confirms that the signature, seal or stamp of a notary public on a UK document is genuine. This ensures that it will be accepted when presented in another country outside of the UK.
Each country has its own legalisation requirement. The costs of legislation can also vary widely depending on whether an apostille is enough or whether full legalisation at the country’s embassy is also required.
Many individuals and businesses have had documents returned to them by the receiver requesting that they legalise the document. This wastes time causing potential delays to the purpose of sending the documents and would like waste additional funds through unnecessarily couriering the documents to the receiving jurisdiction before they are fully ready.
WHICH DOCUMENTS COMMONLY NEED AN
Some document types must be legalised on the originals such as birth, marriage and death certificates. Other documents such as education documents can usually be processed on a certified copy made by a solicitor.
We also offer document translation services if required.
