Steps Involved
Step 1 – Document checks
Our solicitor checks the documents.
Step 2 – Preparation of the set
A cover sheet is created by our solicitor. The cover sheet is then put at the front of the set of documents. They will detail the person or the business the documents belong to and what documents are being included in the set. They will state whether original documents are included in the set, or if they are copies of documents. The solicitor then signs and dates the cover sheet.
Step 3 – ‘Binding’ the documents as a set
To reduce the risk of the document set being tampered with, or changed, the solicitor will add legal fasteners/bindings to the set. This will require documents being hole punched so they can add the legal fasteners to the documents. They may also add legal tape and seals. This can vary by solicitor and the documents in question.
Step 4 – Apostille is added
The set of documents is then submitted to the FCDO for the apostille. The FCDO will check the solicitor has correctly certified the cover sheet and check their signature matches the government records.
The apostille is added to the cover sheet. It is important to note, the apostille is not added to the attached documents.
