What is Legalisation (Apostille) Services?

The Foreign authorities want to know whether the document notarised by the Notary Public is genuine. There are unfortunately bogus individuals who purport to be Notary Public.

The foreign authorities want to reduce risk by insisting that your document is legalised by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London (FCO) and sometimes also by the UK embassy of the country where you are going to use the documents.

Do I need legalisation for the country where my document is going to be used?

It all depends on the country in which you are going to use the document, for example, a Spanish Power of Attorney will always have to be legalised by the Foreign Office and no need for the same to be sent to Spanish embassy in the UK.
