An apostille certificate is a useful thing. It’s a certificate that is issued for documents so that they can be recognised in member states, and won’t be subject to additional checks and legislation.
Usually, the apostille certificate will be issued by the state where the document comes from. Once an apostille certificate is attached to a document, it confirms where that document comes from, and also confirms the authenticity of the signatures and seals. This means it can be presented in any country which understands and recognises the apostille certificate. No further proof regarding the authenticity of the document should be required.
Getting Documents Apostilled
If an apostille certificate is issued in the UK, then the document it relates to will be accepted in a number of different countries (with no further evidence or information required) including Lithuania, Kosovo, Honduras, Tonga, Georgia, Cape Verde, and Norway. There are many more besides.
There is a set format when it comes to the apostille certificate. It must include the following information: the country of issue, the name of the person who has signed the document, the capacity in which they signed it, place and date of issue, the issuing authority, the apostille certificate number, the stamp of the issuing authority, and the signature of the issuing authority’s representative.
