Companies House Document
How To Legalise A Companies House Document
The legalisation process in the UK involves affixing an apostille (certificate) to a public document. Legalisation serves as official confirmation that the signature, stamp, or seal on the document is authentic.
Documents can be legalised if they are required to be recognised by an international foreign body.
One of the public documents that you can ask to legalise in the UK is a companies house document.
We are here to help you legalise your companies house document.
Why Would Someone Need Their Companies House Document Legalised
You may require your Companies House document to be legalised with an apostille if you are required to present it to a foreign organisation outside of the UK. This could be to register your company in a foreign country or to file taxes abroad.
Requirements for Legalisation of a Companies House Document
What format is required for the apostille:
Only the original document that has been signed by a Companies House official or a Solicitor to certify the Document is acceptable for the apostille.
Does the document require solicitor certification:
The signature on the original must be a wet ink signature. It is possible to get a certificate of incorporation with just a printout of the signature. In this case the document will need to be solicitor certified as well. Solicitor certified photocopies are acceptable.
You may have heard that two different apostille kinds exist:
- Paper-based – you must mail your paperwork.
- “E-Apostille” – You can upload documents as PDF files that a UK notary or solicitor has digitally signed to obtain an electronic apostille.
But note that technically Companies House Documents are eligible for an e-Apostille whether it is the best option for your use case can vary and we urge you to contact us for a free consultation regarding this before you place an order
