Yes.


At Staple Inn Notaries, we provide a comprehensive Apostille and document legalisation service for clients throughout the United Kingdom and internationally.

Whether your document has already been notarised, has been issued by a UK public authority, or requires notarisation before legalisation, we can advise you on the correct procedure and arrange the Apostille on your behalf.


Our Apostille service includes assistance with:

  • notarised documents;

  • birth, marriage and death certificates;

  • Companies House documents;

  • academic qualifications;

  • Powers of Attorney;

  • court documents;

  • ACRO Police Certificates;

  • DBS certificates;

  • commercial documents; and

  • many other UK documents intended for international use.


Where additional embassy or consular legalisation is required after the Apostille has been issued, we can also advise on the next steps and assist with the process.

Frequently Asked Questions


What is an electronic Apostille?

An electronic Apostille (e-Apostille) is a digital Apostille issued by the Legalisation Office of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) for eligible electronic public documents. Whether an electronic Apostille is appropriate depends on the type of document and the requirements of the receiving authority.

Does every country accept electronic Apostilles?

No. Whilst many jurisdictions recognise electronic Apostilles, acceptance is not universal. It is always advisable to confirm the requirements of the receiving authority before relying on an electronic Apostille.

Is an Apostille the same as notarisation?

No. A notary authenticates or certifies the document, whereas the Apostille is issued by the FCDO to certify the signature and official capacity of the public official or notary whose signature appears on the document. Many documents intended for overseas use require both notarisation and an Apostille.

Can you arrange the Apostille for me?

Yes. We can advise whether your document requires an Apostille, notarisation before legalisation or further embassy legalisation, and we can manage the process on your behalf.

Will my document also require embassy legalisation?

Possibly. If the destination country is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, or if its authorities require additional authentication, embassy or consular legalisation may also be necessary.
