We can offer same-day and next-day apostille services for British documents issued, signed or created in the UK that are required for use overseas. These urgent services are mainly for individuals who need paperwork for visas, relocation or overseas work. Our team hand-submits documents directly to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), providing rapid turnaround with secure in-house courier handling throughout.

Whether it’s a last-minute requirement or a legal emergency, our fast apostille service legalises UK-issued documents for overseas use quickly without compromising accuracy or security. 

Same-Day and 24-Hour Legalisation

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.
