An apostille proves the validity of a document required for official affairs. These can include birth, death, and marriage certificates, as well as other paperwork. Unauthenticated documents will not be recognised by the receiving public authority. Some countries also require the apostille itself to be translated into the relevant language.
Before it can be granted, the documents must first be certified and notarised by our team, or the translation company responsible for the new content. After that, the documents are sent to the Legalisation Department in the Foreign Office in Milton Keynes, for our U.K projects. The process typically takes up to 3 weeks to be completed, and the authenticated documents are posted directly to the client. A tracking reference can also be provided on request.

We collaborate with the finest experts in the language industry, individuals who possess extensive experience and expertise.

When dealing with official matters abroad, it is essential to ensure that all necessary documents are authenticated with an apostille. These apostilles serve as an internationally recognized form of validation, verifying the authenticity and legitimacy of the documents.
The apostille acts as a seal of approval from the issuing country’s authorities, confirming that the documents are genuine. Without this crucial certification, your documents may be considered invalid or unauthorized by the foreign government, potentially leading to their rejection.
By obtaining authentication for your essential documents, you will be able to provide assurance to foreign authorities that your paperwork adheres to the necessary legal requirements. This streamlined authentication process facilitates smooth dealings with international governments, institutions, and employers, ensuring your rights and privileges are upheld without any unnecessary obstacles.
To safeguard your opportunities and avoid unnecessary setbacks, it is essential to ensure that all documents required for official purposes abroad are appropriately apostilled. This proactive approach will provide you with the confidence and peace of mind needed to navigate the complexities of international endeavours successfully.
Similarly, a business owner wishing to open new branches overseas must obtain apostille certification for essential company paperwork like Articles of Association or Certificates of Incorporation. They are only required for specific documents and reasons, so it’s important to know which ones you need.
The whole process typically takes less than a month but can take up to six months to be finalised for certain embassies. Many countries such as Saudi Arabia require an apostille to be issued by the Foreign Office and the Saudi Arabian Chamber of Commerce. Other countries may have strict requirements. Angolan ones for example, must be issued with a green ribbon, and any other colour will be rejected.
At London Translations, we understand that many of these documents will need to be submitted in the correct language for the government. If this is the case, our expert linguists will be able to accurately translate the apostille for the language required and offer any guidance for the process.
