Apostille Legalisation: For Easier Acceptance of Documents!

You will need Apostille for international acceptance of your documents. You should always look for a company that has an expert employee base and takes 15 days to get an Apostille.

UK Apostille Legislation

The UK follows a strict Apostille process, and often people miss out on minor details that result in rejection of their application. Make sure that all details required for authentication are complete so that your application is attested as soon as possible. The company you paid for the job should directly contact FCO and get your document legalised from them as this authority has rights over all Apostilles issued by the government of UK.

We check for the following details after getting an Apostille certified:

• Country- The country in which the Apostille was issued is always on top of the document. You should always verify that the document was issued in UK, so that you do not land into any trouble afterwards.
• Authentication Officer- Legalisation of documents in case of Apostille must be done by an authorised officer of FCO. The company you hired must take every step possible to get your document certified by an authorised officer as soon as possible.
• The capacity of Officer- The capacity of the officer needs to be mentioned on the document. Without this information, the document will be nullified and that is why you must verify this fact.
• Seal on the Document- The seal on the document must be accompanied by its details. It must contain the name of the department and signature of the officer certifying the document.
• Apostille Certificate Number- This number is used by international authorities to verify your Apostille. You do not have to present the original copy of the document every time it is required. You can just mention the certificate number and the concerned authority will verify it with the authority which issued the document.
• Stamp- The document must have a stamp of the authority which has issued the document. Legalisation of document is not complete unless the authority puts a stamp on it.
• Date and Place- The date and place on which the document was issued is also mentioned in the document. It is an important aspect of UK Apostille legislation as this makes it easy for authorities to verify the document.

The Apostille legislation is an important process and one should follow the pointers stated to enjoy a convenient process completion.
