Administrative / biographical background

In 1961, the process for legalising documents for use abroad was abolished and replaced by a simple certificate of authenticity, called an 'Apostille', under the Hague Convention. An 'Apostille' is a certificate that is attached to an official legal document to verify that the signatory on a document is genuine and person who signed the document is a recognised and authorised person of the organisation that issued the document. Each Apostille is dated, given a unique reference number and registered.

The 'Verify an Apostille' service provides an online facility to verify an Apostille certificate issued in the UK.
