This June there will be two public holidays (bank holidays) as the UK celebrates the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
No apostille certificates will be issued from 2 June to 6 June 2022! Any orders being processed on or after 1 June will not complete until at least 7 June.
In addition to the two public holidays the FCDO government office, that issues the apostilles, is closing for a third day on Monday 6 June.
The Apostille is an official government issued certificate added to documents so they will be recognised when presented in another country. This is issued by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) to verify which legal official has signed this document and the capacity in which they have done so.
The majority of documents are sent by the customer to our office for the apostille. However, you can ask family members or friends to send documents to us. You can also request that organisations and government offices send documents to us. You simply need to order online, make a note of the order number and send a document to us.
If you ever need to present your documents in another country for administrative purposes or legal matters then you may conceivably be asked to provide a translation. There is no international standard for how translations should be prepared. Different countries and authorities therein will have their own expectations with regards to what they consider to be an acceptable translation.
There are many schools overseas that offer a British Curriculum to their students. Overseas schools describing themselves as “British” are subject to recognition by the British government via a voluntary inspection scheme operated by the Department for Education in the UK.
