Government-Issued Document Apostille
Many countries require an apostille for DHSC documents. An apostille is an internationally recognised form of legalisation that a notary public can obtain from the FCDO (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office). Depending on how quickly you need your document legalised, we provide:
- Next-Day Service: When we receive the document by 10:30 am.
- Standard Service: A competitively priced option.
- E-Apostille Service: Takes up to two working days.
If you are using your DHSC document in a country that hasn’t signed the Hague Apostille Convention, we can arrange consular legalisation.
How Was Your Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) Document Issued?
The steps required for notarisation and legalisation will depend on how your document was issued:
- Original DHSC Document Signed by an Official:This does not need to be notarised and can be apostilled directly by the FCDO. If notarisation is desired, the notary can make a copy and notarise it as a “true copy of the original.”
- Original DHSC Document Not Signed:This requires notarisation before it can be apostilled. The notary will need to confirm the original document with the DHSC or notarise a copy as a ‘true copy of the original.’ Once notarised, it can be submitted for apostille.
- Printout of Electronic DHSC Document:This needs notarisation before being apostilled. The notary will verify the origin of the document and, once satisfied, complete the notarisation. It can then be apostilled after notarisation.
E-Notarisation and E-Apostille
Yes, we can e-notarise a copy of your DHSC document with a qualified electronic signature and submit it for an e-apostille. Before proceeding, always check with the recipient to confirm whether they will accept an e-apostille document.
