If you need your Affidavit apostilled, you can send it/them to us for apostille processing.
All Affidavits will be certified by our solicitor (where necessary) and have an official, FCDO-issued, apostille certificate attached, within 3 working days (or sometimes just a few hours with e-Apostille).
Have an Affdavit legalised with a UK apostille certificate by The Apostilles Group from just £90 digital or £95/£115 paper.
Includes FCDO fees & solicitor.
Your document will be transported using Royal Mail's Guaranteed Special Delivery service to the FCDO Legalisation Office and back (where necessary).
If your Affidavit is witnessed by a Solicitor or Notary Public, it can be apostilled on our Basic service for £95. There may be a delay in the apostille being issued given that Solicitors and Notary Publics have to be registered with the FCDO to certify documents. There is a process that if a Solicitor or Notary Public is NOT registered, the FCDO will contact them in order to confirm some details with them. This will incur at least a single day’s delay.
Although a Commissioner for Oaths CAN witness the Affidavit itself, the apostille is a separate legal procedure and their certification will not be accepted for apostille.
Due to each of the above conditions, The Apostilles Group would recommend using our Enhanced service for your Affidavit apostille.
