Urgent Apostille Service FAQs

Is a same-day apostille guaranteed?

Eligible documents may qualify for same-day service. Always call us to check first.

Can I drop off documents in person?

Yes, you may drop off if you’re near Surrey or central London. Contact us to arrange this.

Can I use this service for documents that stay in the UK?

An apostille is only required when a British document, issued or signed in the UK, will be used abroad. If the document stays within the UK, no apostille is needed.
