Apostille Services
We offer comprehensive assistance to clients WITH obtaining apostilled documents and with the certification of documents originating from cyprus
What is an Apostille?
The Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO) issues an official international government certificate known as an Apostille, which is affixed to papers as proof of their legality, according to the Hague Convention of 1961. Your documents have no legal validity in a foreign nation without an Apostille.
The Hague Convention eliminated the need for consular legalisation and streamlined the document authentication procedure for use in all 193 signatory nations. Cyprus adopted the streamlined legalisation procedure after joining the Hague Convention in 1978. Your documents do not need any additional legalisation to be used in other Member states once they have received an Apostille authentication in Cyprus.
So trust us with apostilling your documents and let us simplify things for you so that you don’t have to deal with any bureaucratic hassles. We offer a very reasonably priced apostilling service and certification services with quick turnaround times (bulk orders qualify for discounts).
