SERVICES FOR BUSINESS

I can certify all kinds of commercial documents that may be required to carry out business abroad including the examples below but this is by no means exhaustive:

Power of Attorney from companies for all kinds of commercial reasons e.g. creating a subsidiary, renewing a patent, conducting litigation, representing the English company overseas
Confirmation of the existence of the English company - attaching certificates of incorporation, Certificates of Good Standing, details of the company officers etc
Certified copy passports of company officers

Confirmation of accreditations for export purposes
Arrange legalisation

LEGALISATION

Legalisation is the process whereby a Notary’s signature and seal are verified and confirmed by an independent authority. Many countries require the Apostille - a certificate of confirmation provided in the UK by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).

I can organise legalisation for you. The FCO's standard service currently costs £45 per document and at present can take around 10 working days. I can also discuss the use of consular agents who speed this process up considerably for a moderate additional charge - please do ask about this option.

Some countries require legalisation by their own Consulate in England. Consular fees vary enormously from £10 to £500 depending on the type of document legalised and the Consulate involved. I use consular agents who reliably manage this process from beginning to end.

Once legalised, the document will usually be accepted (subject to any necessary translation) by the authorities in the destination country as evidence of the matters stated in the document.

Allowing more time for legalisation keeps the costs of legalisation down, so don't delay!

TRANSLATION

I have a local contact who can arrange translations for worldwide use, and I can either simply put you in touch or facilitate the process as a whole.
