What is an Apostille Stamp?
An Apostille is an official confirmation affixed to documents, validating the authenticity of signatures and seals of public officers. Typically required by foreign governments, this certificate ensures the document's validity in member countries of The Hague Convention. Attestation Services UK facilitates Apostille stamps for documents originating from the UK and Ireland.
Legalisation Process
Foreign authorities often mandate document legalisation for official use in their countries. Legalisation, as per the Hague Convention's requirements, is exclusively provided by the UK FCDO legalisation office. It does not authenticate document content but ensures compliance with international standards.

UK Apostille Stamp
The Apostille stamp is a certification granted by a country participating in the UN Hague Convention. The exclusive authority for issuing this certificate lies with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). This official endorsement verifies the UK document's origin for international use. Upon confirming document authenticity and meeting necessary criteria, the FCDO issues the Apostille certificate. For countries not party to the Hague Convention, additional legalisation is necessary. In such cases, the document must undergo the legalisation process through an embassy, consulate, or high commission to ensure its acceptance and validity abroad.
Irish Apostille Stamp
The Irish Apostille stamp, issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFA) offices in Dublin and Cork, serves as official confirmation for documents of Irish origin. This distinctive stamp affirms the authenticity of the document and is specifically designed for use in countries that are members of the Hague Convention, established in 1961 to streamline international document authentication.
The apostille certifies that the document originated in Ireland and was duly signed by an official authority, such as a registrar or notary public. This endorsement validates the document's acceptance in countries worldwide. When seeking to use public, personal, or educational documents abroad, obtaining authentication through the Irish Apostille stamp is often a requirement. Foreign governments and organizations typically request these authenticated documents to ensure their validity and legitimacy in international transactions.
