What are the eligibility criteria for obtaining an e-Apostille?

  1. Your document must be digitally signed by a UK notary public or solicitor.
  2. Their digital signature must be either an Advanced Electronic Signature (AES) or a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES), and explicitly issued in their name. Please be informed that our solicitors and/or notaries are provided QES Signatures. See https://www.fasttrackapostille.co.uk/blogs/news/how-to-electronically-certify-your-documents
  3. FCDO currently cannot accept certain documents for an e-Apostille. This includes birth/death/marriage certificates issued by the GRO, ACRO or DBS certificates, or fingerprint certificates.
  4. You will need to confirm that the recipient will accept an e-Apostille.
