The essential step for international recognition of your notarised documents.
For UK documents to be legally recognised in countries that signed The Hague Convention of 1961, they must undergo a process called Legalisation. For these countries, Legalisation takes the form of an Apostille Certificate.
The Apostille is a sticker issued by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). It confirms that the signature and seal of Sonia Ashley, your Notary Public, are genuine. Once affixed, the document is legally binding in over 100 member countries.

If your document is for use in a country that is not part of The Hague Convention (e.g., UAE, China, Vietnam), a further step is mandatory: Consular Legalisation.
