Question 1

Why combine replacement and apostille?

Accepted Answer

If you need a UK certificate abroad but no longer have a usable copy, you'd otherwise have to order a replacement and then arrange an apostille separately. We do both in one managed order, saving you a step and the extra postage.

Question 2

Do I need the old certificate?

Accepted Answer

No. We obtain a fresh certified copy directly from the General Register Office using the event details, then send it to the FCDO for the apostille.

Question 3

Which certificates does this cover?

Accepted Answer

UK birth, marriage and death certificates issued through the General Register Office. Tell us which you need and the details of the entry.

Question 4

Is an apostille enough for my destination country?

Accepted Answer

For Hague Convention countries, yes. For non-Hague countries (such as the UAE or Qatar) you'll also need embassy attestation — we offer that as a separate end-to-end service.

Question 5

How long does the combined service take?

Accepted Answer

Typically 4–5 working days, because it includes both obtaining the replacement from the GRO and the FCDO apostille step. We'll keep you updated at each stage.
