When the UK Wants an Apostille
The usual triggers are property transactions and estates handled by a UK solicitor, company matters where a foreign signature has to be verified, and court proceedings. Your solicitor will say whether an apostille is needed and may provide the document to sign. We notarize it in California form and get the apostille.
Witnessing Rules
UK documents sometimes include an English-style witness block in addition to, or instead of, notarization. Bring the document unsigned and we will follow your solicitor’s instructions alongside the California notarization.
