Company Documents

What is company document attestation? These processes, also known as legalisation, takes documents issued in one country and makes them legally recognised in another. the steps involved in this verification varies dependent on several factors and varies from country to country. Things can get complicated very quickly.

We can help you with the attestation of any documents issued by Companies House in the UK. This covers documents such as (but not limited to):

Certificate of Incorporation
Memorandum and Articles of Association
Statement of Capital
Annual Return
Various Statements and Notices

The above documents can be attested in one of two forms. You can supply these documents to us in one of the following ways:

Original Companies House documents that have been signed with an original signature by an official of Companies House
Original unsigned Companies House documents which we will have certified by a practising UK solicitor (the originals will be returned to you unchanged)
Certified copies of a Companies House document which have been signed by a practising UK solicitor or Notary Public

To order the attestation of a company document online, start by choosing your country.

Please note that if you are supplying your own certified copies, a sample signature of the solicitor or Notary Public will need to have been registered with the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO). If this has not been done, the FCO will take additional time to validate the signature before processing the document which will inevitably lead to delays to processing the attestation. Our solicitors certify documents on a daily basis and are already registered with the FCO.
