What is a court of bankruptcy document?

A court of bankruptcy document is an official legal document issued by a UK court relating to bankruptcy proceedings. These documents may include bankruptcy orders, discharge certificates, insolvency records and other court-issued financial legal documents.

Why you may need an apostille

You may require an apostille for:

  • Overseas legal or financial proceedings
  • Immigration or residency applications
  • International debt or insolvency matters
  • Foreign banking or financial compliance
  • Recognition of UK bankruptcy decisions abroad

An apostille ensures your bankruptcy court document is legally recognised in Hague Apostille Convention countries.
