FCO Apostille- UK Apostille Service
FCO Apostille-UK Apostille Service- We are often asked if the solicitor notarization from UK is good enough for the document to be used overseas or Is that equivalent to apostille? Often, clients ask us if we issue apostille on the document as well ?
The answer is NO. The document once notarized by UK Solicitor or notary or issued by registrar needs an apostille to be issued by Foreign and Commonwealth office in case you need to use that document overseas in any other country. The apostille in UK is only issued by Foreign and Commonwealth office, also called FCO. This is Ministry of foreign affairs office of UK.
They hold a secure database of legal signatories and seals that is used to authenticate documents. Once the seal or signature on a document is verified the apostille will be issued to confirm this.
The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office closed their counters to the general public in 2011 which means that documents can only be submitted by post to FCO in most cases. However, certain companies registered with the FCO have the privilege of presenting documents in person.
The Apostille is an official government issued certificate attached to documents so they will be recognized in when presented in another country. The legalisation process carried out by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office is official confirmation that the signature, seal or stamp appearing on your document is genuine.
