United Kingdom: Electronic Apostille Now Available

UK authorities have announced they will now be able to receive documents digitally and then issue electronic apostilles for documents issued in the United Kingdom, which should be accepted in all 100+ states that are parties to The Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents (Hague Convention). Apostilles are simplified legalisation stamps available for documents originating in countries that are a party to the relevant convention. Foreign nationals with documents originating in the United Kingdom should benefit from streamlined document gathering.
