Apostille Translation for Overseas Use

If you are submitting documents to a foreign authority, embassy, consulate, overseas court, university, government office or international organisation, you may be asked to provide an apostilled document together with a certified or notarised translation.

At Official Translation Service, we assist with certified translations, notarised translations and apostille-related translation support for documents being used outside the UK. Our team can help you understand the correct process and prepare your translation in the required format.

An apostille is commonly used to confirm the authenticity of a UK document or the signature of a notary or authorised official, so it can be recognised by authorities abroad.

When Do You Need an Apostille Translation?

You may need apostille translation support when your documents are being submitted outside the UK for legal, personal, academic, immigration or business purposes.

This service is commonly required for:

Birth certificates
Marriage certificates
Divorce documents
Death certificates
Degree certificates and academic transcripts
Police certificates
Powers of attorney
Company documents
Court documents
Affidavits and declarations
Medical documents
Immigration and residency documents
Property and overseas legal matters
Embassy or consulate submissions

If you are unsure whether the apostille should be applied to the original document, the translation, or a notarised version, we recommend checking with the receiving authority before proceeding.

Documents used overseas must be translated accurately and presented correctly. Our professional linguists carefully translate your document while preserving names, dates, stamps, signatures, official wording and key details.

Depending on the authority’s requirements, your document may need a certified translation, a notarised translation, an apostille, or a combination of these services. We can guide you through the options and help you prepare the correct translation package.

Certified, Notarised or Apostilled?

Different authorities ask for different levels of verification. A certified translation may be enough for some purposes, while other authorities may request notarisation and apostille.

In some cases, the apostille is required on the original UK document. In other cases, the translation must be notarised first and then apostilled. Because requirements vary by country and authority, it is always best to confirm the exact requirement before ordering.

Our team can help you understand the difference and prepare your documents accordingly.
