Are certificates given by the Registrar of Companies accepted for the purpose of issuing legalisation certificates?
Certificates issued by Companies House are stamped or electronically signed but they will not be accepted by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office for the purpose of issuing legalisation certificates. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office require that documents must have the original signature or seal of a British public official. To obtain a certificate signed in person by a Companies House official, customers need to request a ‘certified certificate’.
