When dealing with international matters—whether personal, legal, or business-related, you may be required to certify your UK-issued documents to ensure they are recognised overseas.

An Apostille confirms the authenticity of a document, allowing it to be legally accepted in countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention. At CG Incorporations, we offer fast, reliable Apostille and document certification services, helping you streamline the legalisation process with minimal hassle. Whether you need an apostille for birth certificates, academic records, company documents, or legal contracts, our experienced team ensures your paperwork is properly certified and ready for international use.
The majority of institutions around the world will need you to validate your documents and will probably ask you to provide an apostille certificate before they will accept them. Yet because the public in general are often unaware that such a document is necessary, or are unfamiliar with the process of acquiring an apostille certificate, it can make obtaining one difficult. Firstly, for anyone not in the know, it can be a very arduous, tiresome operation, often fraught with difficulties.
We will take the burden of acquiring an apostille certificate from your shoulders, taking care of all that is necessary to get your documents certified, along with an apostille certificate. We’ll skilfully plough through all the administrative and diplomatic red tape so you don’t have to, making your life far easier in the process.

What is an Apostille Certificate?
An Apostille certificate is an official authentication that validates the origin of a document for use abroad. Issued by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), an Apostille confirms that a signature, seal, or stamp on a document is genuine. Apostilles are recognised by all countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention, making them a crucial requirement for international transactions, immigration, overseas education, and cross-border legal processes.
At CG Incorporations, we specialise in providing a fast, efficient Apostille service for a wide range of documents, helping individuals and businesses ensure their paperwork is internationally valid without delays.
Why You Might Need Apostille Certification
There are many situations where Apostille certification is necessary. You might need to legalise a document if you are:
- Applying for a visa, citizenship, or residency abroad
- Getting married overseas
- Opening a foreign bank account
- Setting up a company in another country
- Proving educational qualifications internationally
- Handling international business transactions
- Dealing with property purchases abroad
- Registering intellectual property in a foreign country

- name of document’s signatory and their capacity
- place date of issue and issuing authority
- details of the document’s seals/stamps and the stamp/seal of the issuing authority
