Next Day Apostille Service
Updated
What Is an Apostille?
An apostille is a Hague-Convention certificate that verifies the authenticity of a UK document. It confirms:
- The genuineness of the signature.
- The capacity of the signatory.
- The validity of any official seal or stamp.
Why Choose the Next-Day Service?
Standard legalisation can take several weeks. If you have urgent professional, academic or personal deadlines abroad, our authorised next-day service at the UK FCDO (Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office) cuts the wait to a single working day.
How the Service Works
- Prepare your document: Make sure any non-government document is correctly certified by a solicitor or notary.
- Place an order: Complete our contact form or send a paper order with full instructions.
- Send the paperwork: Post or courier the original document to us.
- FCDO submission: We lodge the document with the Legalisation Office the same day we receive it.
- Secure return: Once your document has been apostilled, typically the next working day. While the apostille is issued promptly, delivery times may vary depending on your location and the courier service used.
