What is a Medical Report?
A medical report is a formal document prepared by a healthcare professional that details an individual’s medical history, diagnosis, treatment, or prognosis.
Notarising a medical report verifies its authenticity, enabling it to be used in various legal, administrative, and professional contexts.
When Do You Need Medical Report Notarisation?
Notarised medical reports are often required by:
- Immigration authorities assessing health status and entry eligibility.
- Employers or insurance providers to verify eligibility for benefits or workplace accommodations.
- Foreign entities, when sending a medical report overseas for validation.
At Wharf Notaries, we handle medical documentation with sensitivity and professionalism, offering services specifically suited to your needs.
How Was Your Medical Report Issued?
The steps for notarisation and legalisation will depend on how your medical report was issued:
Original Medical Report Signed by a Doctor:
If the report is signed by a registered doctor with the General Medical Council, it can be directly apostilled by the FCDO without notarisation. The doctor’s wet ink signature is required, and they need to register their signature with the FCDO.Electronic Medical Report Printout:
If the report is an electronic document or PDF, we will verify its authenticity before notarisation. You’ll need to provide proof of the download source or email from which it was received. Once verified, we can notarise and apostille it through the FCDO.
Can We Provide E-notarisation and E-apostille?
Yes, we offer e-notarisation and e-apostille services. All our notaries have registered qualified electronic signatures with the FCDO. We recommend verifying with the recipient whether they accept e-notarisation and e-apostille.

Typically, yes. If it’s an electronic document, we can notarise it after verifying its authenticity with the issuing authority or doctor.
Can I get a digital copy after notarisation?
Yes, we’ll provide a PDF scan of your notarised and apostilled document, which can be sent via email or uploaded to a secure portal for easy access.
