Apostille in London – FCDO Legalisation Services

If you’re searching for fast and professional apostille services in London, iNotary provides full FCDO legalisation and notary services for personal and business documents. We specialise in helping clients get their UK documents apostilled quickly, whether for international business, marriage abroad, or study overseas.

What Is an Apostille Certificate?

An apostille certificate is a legal authentication that verifies the authenticity of a signature, stamp, or seal on a document. It is issued by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) in the UK. The apostille stamp makes your document legally valid for use in any country that is a member of The Hague Convention.

The apostille bears the official seal and embossed stamp of the FCDO and is signed by an authorised officer. It is required for many legal, business, or academic purposes when using UK documents abroad.

Do I Need Notarisation Before Getting an Apostille?

Some documents must be notarised before they can receive an apostille. If your document does not already contain an official signature (such as a court officer or registrar), a London Notary Public can verify and witness your signature. Once notarised, the document can then be submitted to the FCDO Apostille Office for legalisation.
