If you select “NO” for a document issued by the General Register Office (GRO), we cannot legalise it, as photocopies of this type are not accepted. You will need to order the original document, which must bear a wet ink signature and date from the issuing authority.If you select “NO” for a court-issued document, solicitor certification will be required. We will arrange this as part of the process, but you must send us the original document.
