Apostille Certificate on Company Documents

An Apostille enables the presenter to bypass further certification and immediately use the documents in the intended country. All UK Company documents are complete with certification from an authorised body.

This involves the addition of a certificate, either stamped on the document itself or attached to the document which certifies:

• Country of origin of the document
• Name and identity of the signature – Capacity in which a document has been signed
• Official seal – Name of authority which has affixed a seal or stamp to the document
• Place, date and document number

An Apostille certificate can be obtained for the following company documents.

• Apostilled Certificate of Incorporation
• Apostilled Certified Copy of Memorandum & Articles of Association
• Apostilled Certificate of Good Standing

The Certificate of Good Standing from the Companies Registrar certifies that a company is in Good Standing. The Certificate resembles the initial Certificate of Incorporation and is used to formally confirm the company’s continued legal existence. It also confirms that all administrative requirements have been complied with.
