Why Apostille Your Business Documents?
When expanding your business internationally—whether opening a foreign subsidiary, entering into contracts overseas, or establishing business relationships abroad—you may be required to prove your company's legitimacy. This is where apostilled Companies House documents become essential.
Foreign governments, banks, and business partners often require authenticated proof of your company's registration, directors, shareholders, and legal standing. An apostille provides this official verification.
Common Documents That Can Be Apostilled
- Certificate of Incorporation: Proves your company is legally registered in the UK.
- Certificate of Good Standing: Confirms your company is compliant and in good standing.
- Memorandum & Articles of Association: Your company's constitutional documents.
- Annual Returns/Confirmation Statements: Shows current company details and filings.
- Director/Shareholder Information: Official records of company officers and ownership.
The e-Apostille Advantage for Businesses
Companies House documents are excellent candidates for e-Apostilles because they're already available digitally. This means:
- No need to order physical copies from Companies House
- Faster processing—often within 24 hours
- Lower costs without courier or postal fees
- Easy to send digital copies to multiple parties
- Online verification for added trust
