What Is a Companies House Document Apostille?
A Companies House document apostille is an official certificate confirming the authenticity of a UK Companies House document for use abroad. Legalisation involves affixing the apostille to the document, serving as confirmation that the signature, stamp, or seal is genuine. Documents are legalised when required to be recognised by a foreign authority.

Important Document Requirements
Ensure your Companies House document is eligible before sending.

For an apostille, your Companies House document must either:

• Bear a wet ink signature from a Companies House official or solicitor, or
• Be solicitor certified if it’s a printed version with a digital signature.

If your document doesn’t meet these requirements, we can assist with solicitor certification to make it eligible for legalisation.

How To Legalise A Companies House Document

To legalise a Companies House document, the document must either be signed in wet ink by a Companies House official or be solicitor certified if it’s a printout. Solicitor-certified photocopies are also acceptable.

Once the document meets certification requirements, it can be legalised through either:
Paper-based apostille — posting or delivering the physical document, or
E-apostille — using a digitally signed PDF certified by a UK solicitor or notary.

Companies House documents are generally eligible for e-apostille, but the best option depends on your destination country’s regulations. We offer free consultations to help you choose the right method.
