What is an Online Notary?

What is an Apostille?
An apostille is an official certification issued by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) that verifies the authenticity of a document for international use.
Apostilles are essential for documents used in countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention, which includes over 120 countries such as the USA, Canada, Australia, and most of Europe.
Why Do You Need an Apostille?
An apostille ensures your UK-issued documents are legally accepted abroad for:
- Immigration & visa applications
- Marriage and birth registrations
- Foreign business contracts
- Overseas property transactions
- International job applications
Instead of traditional apostille services that take weeks, our eApostille service provides a fully online solution to get your apostille faster.
How Do Online Notary and Apostille Services Work?
The process of obtaining an online notarisation and eApostille involves just three simple steps:
1. Upload Your Document
Send your document via our contact form.
2. Remote Notarisation via Video Call
Join a live video call with one of our licensed UK notaries who will verify your identity and sign your document digitally.
3. Apostille Certification
If an apostille is required, we submit your notarised document electronically to the FCDO for same-day or next-day processing.
Once completed, your eApostille is emailed to you, ready for international use.
Is Online Notarisation and Apostille Legally Valid?
Yes! The UK legally recognises remote notarisation and digital apostille services. The Electronic Communications Act 2000 and the UK eIDAS regulations allow digital signatures and electronic seals to be used for notarisation.
Additionally, the Hague Apostille Convention (1961) ensures that apostilled documents are legally accepted in participating countries.
