What is Legalisation or Apostille?
Many countries also require notarised documents to be legalised. Legalisation is a double check to make sure that the notaries’ signature is genuine and recognised by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Once the authenticity of the signature and seal of the Notary is confirmed by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office a certificate is attached, called an “Apostille”. Documents may also need to be checked by foreign embassies to make sure that the Notary’s signature matches the one on their records. The requirement for this will depend on the foreign country involved.
