Officially validate your documents through the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) to ensure they are legally recognised in all Hague Convention countries.
Our Apostilled Documents service enables your documents to be legally certified by the FCDO, giving them full legal standing across all countries that are members of the Hague Convention. Legalisation confirms the authenticity of your documents for international use.
We handle the entire process on your behalf, including solicitor certification and FCDO apostille fees, making document legalisation simple and stress-free.

If you are based outside the UK or intend to trade internationally, apostilled documents provide legal recognition in over 105 countries that are members of the Hague Convention.
Under the 1961 Hague Convention, documents that have been certified by a solicitor and issued with a compliant apostille certificate are accepted for official and legal use in all participating countries.

The term “apostille” comes from French and means certification. In practice, it refers to the legalisation of official documents so they can be recognised internationally.
Under the 1961 Hague Convention, documents that are first certified by a solicitor and then issued with a compliant apostille are accepted for legal and official use in all countries that are signatories to the Convention.
Once apostilled, your documents gain international recognition, giving them legal credibility and authority when presented abroad.
We can apostille any documents issued by Companies House or generated through our systems, including:
Certificate of Incorporation
Memorandum and Articles of Association
List of Directors and/or Shareholders
Share Certificates
Company Minutes
There is no limit to the number of documents that can be certified and apostilled at once.
Please note:
We bind documents together when submitting them for apostille. For this reason, any additional documents you request may be subject to review. If you would like to include extra documents, please contact our Operations Team at cosec@mycompanyregistration.uk before processing.
