Read more about business accounts for non-UK residentsIf you have recently created a company in the UK you may be required to provide Apostilled documents in another country. Some countries require company documents to be officially legalised before they can be used outside the UK. An Apostille is an official government certificate added to documents so that they are recognised when presented in another country.
An Apostille is a way of officially authenticating the company documents for use in other countries. It may also be required if you choose to open a bank account or a branch of your company outside the UK. In the United Kingdom an Apostille is granted by the Foreign and Commonwealth office. Apostilled company documents are accepted in any of the 120 countries which are party to the 1961 Hague Convention.
Our Apostilled Documents Service, including certification by a solicitor beforehand, can be added to your company formation order on the Checkout page.
