An Apostille is an official certificate issued by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) that verifies the authenticity of a UK public document for use in another country that is a signatory to the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961.
Whether you need to use a UK company document, degree certificate, birth or marriage certificate, power of attorney, or commercial invoice abroad — an Apostille is the most common and straightforward way to have it recognised internationally.
