What is e-Apostille service
An e-Apostille (electronic Apostille) is the digital equivalent of the traditional paper apostille, designed to confirm the authenticity of UK documents for use abroad. It is officially issued by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and contains a secure digital signature and a unique electronic seal to guarantee authenticity and integrity.
Unlike a paper apostille, the e-Apostille is issued and delivered entirely online, attached directly to your PDF document. This means you can share it instantly with foreign authorities, universities, or businesses, and it can be verified online at any time through the FCDO’s secure verification portal.
The e-Apostille offers a faster, safer, and more sustainable alternative to traditional legalisation, eliminating postage delays and the need for physical copies. It carries the same legal status and international recognition as a paper apostille under the 1961 Hague Convention, making it the modern, efficient way to authenticate UK documents for international use.
