What is Legalisation?
Some documents (Birth, Death & Marriage Certificates, Criminal Checks) do not always need a notary. They may simply need to be legalised. We can arrange this for you and if you require, we can have your documents shipped to almost anywhere in the world.
As a firm of notaries, we can advise you on what you need to do to legalise, the timescale and the costs. We legalise documents nationally, so if you’re in our home town of Birmingham or somewhere else, we can help.
Which documents can we help you legalise?
You can legalise documents of all types and nationalities with us including:
- Certified Copy of an Entry of Birth
- Certified Copy of an Entry of Marriage
- Certified Copy of an Entry of Death
- Certificate of No Impediment
- ACRO certificates bearing an original wet ink signature
- Original Decree Nisi or Absolute Stamped and Sealed by a Court
- Original Companies House documents signed with a wet ink signature of an official of Companies House
- Certificate of Incorporation signed with a wet ink signature of an official of Companies House
and many other document types!
