An apostille for the United Kingdom is an official certificate that verifies the authenticity of U.S. public documents (such as FBI background checks, birth certificates, and marriage certificates) for use in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland). Since both the United States and the United Kingdom are members of the Hague Apostille Convention, a standard Hague apostille is the only legal certification required by UK authorities.
For state-issued vital records (birth, marriage, or divorce certificates), the apostille must be issued by the Secretary of State where the document was originally recorded. For federal documents like FBI Background Checks, the apostille is issued by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.
UK register offices and UKVI require original certified long-form copies of birth and marriage certificates bearing state apostilles. Background checks submitted for visa purposes generally must be dated within 90 days.
Apostille certificates must remain permanently attached to the underlying record. Removing the staple invalidates the document for British legal use.
