A letter from an employer is an official document issued by a UK-based company confirming an individual's employment details. It may include job title, salary, length of employment, and purpose (e.g. for visa, residency, or relocation support).

This document is often requested by:

• Immigration and visa authorities
• Foreign embassies and consulates
• Overseas employers or government bodies
• Banks and landlords requiring proof of employment

Certification required: The letter must be printed on company letterhead, signed by an authorised representative, and certified by a UK solicitor or notary public before it can be apostilled.

Original document: The apostille will be applied to the certified original.

Not eligible for e-apostille: This document must go through the physical apostille process.

The letter must clearly state the employee’s full name, job role, start date, and contact details of the employer.

It should include the company’s registered address and official signature of an authorised HR or management representative.

Some countries may request translation and embassy legalisation after the apostille. Always check local requirements in advance.
