WHAT WE DO
Our BVI notaries can arrange for the apostille and legalization of yourdocuments at the relevant authorities in the BVI. Once your documents havebeen apostilled in the BVI our notaries can arrange for your documents to befurther legalised or apostilled in the U.K. with the Foreign & CommonwealthOffice or the appropriate embassy or consulate on your behalf.
Most of the documents that you’ll need notaries for are for use abroad, oftenby lawyers, courts and official registries.
Quite often, they will need your documents to be not only notarised but alsoattested by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, by the embassy of thecountry where the documents will be used, or frequently by both. For somecountries, a confirmation from a chamber of commerce might also benecessary for commercial documents or invoices.
We can handle all these steps for you and arrange for you notarized, apostilled and legalized documents to be delivered to you by international courier.
HAGUE APOSTILLE
This is an official certificate that the relevant authorizes in the BVI will add to your notarised document before they can be used abroad or legalized in the U.K. This procedure is usually known simply as the ‘apostille’ although sometimes it is called the ‘Hague apostille’.
Apostilled documents can be processed and copies returned to you with 2 business days.
CONSULATES AND EMBASSIES
We are also very familiar with the procedures used at the different embassies and have an excellent set of contacts within the various consulates in London U.K. We know their different requirements, prices and turnaround times. As with apostilles, our notaries can arrange consular legalisation for you or advise you on how to do this yourself.
