Solicitor Certification of Your Documents

We are apostilleonline.org, a website that offers document legalisation and translation services in the UK. One of the services we provide is solicitor certification, which is a process of verifying the authenticity of certain documents by a UK solicitor. Solicitor certification is often required before getting an apostille or an embassy attestation for your document.

Why do you need solicitor certification?

If you have a UK document that you need to use in another country, you may need to get it legalised first. Legalisation is a way of confirming that a document is genuine and can be recognised by foreign authorities. There are two main types of legalisation: apostille and embassy attestation.

An apostille is a stamped official certificate that is attached to your document by the UK Legalisation Office, which is part of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). An apostille certifies that the document is authentic and has been issued by a UK public official, such as a registrar, a solicitor, or a notary public. An apostille is accepted by countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention, which is an international treaty that simplifies the legalisation process.

However, some countries are not part of the Hague Apostille Convention, and they may require an additional level of legalisation, which is embassy attestation. Embassy attestation is when the embassy or consulate of the destination country in the UK stamps, seals, or signs your document, after it has been apostilled by the FCDO. Embassy attestation confirms that the document is valid and can be used for official purposes in that country.

Some documents, such as copies of passports, driving licences, bank statements, or academic certificates, may not be eligible for an apostille or an embassy attestation, unless they have been certified by a UK solicitor first. Solicitor certification is when a UK solicitor signs and dates a copy of your document and confirms that it is a true and accurate copy of the original. Solicitor certification gives your document more credibility and validity in the eyes of the authorities and organisations that request it.
