Apostille Document Courier
Dedicated international delivery for apostilled and legalised originals that need to reach an overseas recipient quickly.
Delivery after the apostille is ready
Once a document has completed apostille or legalisation, the next deadline is often outside the UK. Repeating the certification process can be slow and costly.
We can collect from the professional adviser, legalisation agent or client and arrange direct international handover.
For collection immediately after a notary appointment, see delivery of notarised documents. Agencies coordinating several processing stages can use our courier guidance for notaries and legalisation providers.
Typical movements
Plan from release by the legalisation provider
Plan from release by the legalisation provider
A provisional completion date is different from a pack that is ready to collect. Tell us when the provider can release the finished documents and when the overseas recipient needs to hold them. The route assessment should allow for both ends of that process.
Confirm with your provider that the apostille or legalisation stage is finished. Share the actual release time, collection reference and pickup contact.
Give the overseas adviser, agent or authority address and the time they can accept the pack. Separate this handover deadline from any later appointment.
Flight or rail options are assessed from the processing office, including collection travel and check-in time. A later release can change the practical departure.
Provide envelope dimensions, weight and any binding, seals or protective wallet. Tell us if associated originals have been added since the first enquiry.
Confirm whether the courier should meet a named person, use a reception desk or attend an agreed appointment. Include a reachable local contact.
If processing overruns, tell us promptly so the routing and recipient availability can be reassessed before travel is committed.

The handover instructions should identify the whole finished pack, including attachments, without asking the courier to decide whether the certification is correct. Agree how the documents will be packaged and what the recipient should acknowledge on delivery.
What we need to quote
Provide the ready time, destination authority or agent, deadline and whether the document has to remain in a specific wallet or sealed pack.

Common questions
Do you obtain the apostille?
This service covers transport of the documents. Your chosen provider arranges the apostille or legalisation and confirms when the finished pack can be collected.
Can collection be planned before processing finishes?
An enquiry can start with an expected completion time, but make clear that it is provisional. The route and collection arrangements need to be checked against the actual release time.
Should attached certificates or seals be removed for travel?
Tell us how the provider has prepared the pack and any handling instructions. Ask the issuing or processing professional how it should be protected; do not separate the set merely to fit a smaller envelope.
Does delivery confirm the documents will be accepted overseas?
Delivery confirmation records the agreed handover. The receiving organisation or your adviser must confirm the required certification, content and any appointment arrangements.
