Legalise a UK Adoption Certificate | Apostille UK

What Is an Adoption Document?

An adoption certificate replaces the original birth certificate once an adoption is finalised in the UK.

Why Legalise an Adoption Certificate?

Apostilled adoption certificates are required for citizenship, family visas, or inheritance abroad.

How to Get It Legalised

  1. Obtain an original or certified copy issued by the GRO or local registrar (photocopies are not accepted).

  2. Check the signature — it must be from an authorised registrar.

  3. Place order online for an apostille.

  4. If required by the destination country, have it attested by the embassy.
