What is an Apostille?

​

 

  • An Apostille stamp is a form of authentication added to documents to allow them to be used in member countries of the Hague Convention, and are usually requested by foreign governments to assert that a document is genuine.

 

  • It is sometimes known as an FCDO Apostille, as the FCDO (Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office) is the governmental body that issues them within the UK.

​

  • Once an Apostille stamp is added to a document, it becomes valid for use in any country that is a member of the Hague Convention
