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.
We make the process easy and secure:
We verify your certificate is valid for apostille.
The FCDO (UK Foreign Office) applies the official apostille.
We dispatch your legalised document securely your address.
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.
