How to Apostille a UK Birth Certificate

Introduction:
A birth certificate is one of the most commonly requested documents for apostille certification, especially for relocation, marriage, or dual citizenship applications abroad.

Step-by-step guide:

  1. Obtain an original or certified copy of the birth certificate.

  2. Submit it for verification – it must be signed or sealed by an authorised UK registrar.

  3. Apply for the apostille – the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) attaches the apostille certificate.

  4. Receive your document back – now officially recognised abroad.

Important note:
If your certificate is very old or handwritten, you may need to request a new copy before it can be apostilled.
