Certification of copies of documents for submission to foreign authorities
In many cases, copies of documents need to be certified and then apostilled or legalised. Consultant's lawyers provide support in situations where copies of documents are submitted outside the United Kingdom, in particular to Ukraine, the EU, Canada or the USA.
We provide:
- legal opinions;
- verification of the requirements of the receiving party;
- preparation of copies of documents for certification;
- organising the procedure for certification by a notary or solicitor;
- supporting the apostille or consular legalisation procedure;
- translating copies of documents with notarial certification (if necessary).

This ensures the validity of documents in the jurisdiction where they are to be submitted.
