"Certify your documents"
Legalisation simply means confirming that a signature, seal or stamp appearing on a document is genuine.
Today's business climate is such that our clients face challenges with regards to the legalisation procedures of countries for official documents.
Documents often need to bear the signatures or seals of British public officials (Solicitors, Notaries, the Foreign Office or an Embassy)to be accepted overseas.
We are happy to organise the legalisation of the appropriate documents on our clients' behalf for use in the jurisdiction required, such as signatures certified by a lawyer and apostilled documents (certification by the Foreign Office).

There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a jurisdiction, including the beneficial owner's country of residence and where the vessel is to sail.
