Hague Apostille and document legalisation guidance
Where UK documents need to be used overseas, we help clients understand what legalisation or apostille step may be needed and how to prepare the underlying documents properly first.
Useful when UK-issued documents must be recognised abroad.
The correct process can depend on the destination country and the document type.
It is often worth checking translation and certification needs at the same time.
