We work locally with certification specialists, notaries, law firms and certifiedEnglish and Frenchtranslators in over 100 countries, certifying documents for use in Guernsey, including documents issued in:

Guernsey is a signatory to the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents Hague Apostille ConventionExternal link (opens in new tab). This means that official documents issued in other signatory countries can be certified by an Apostille Stamp in the country where they have been issued. This stamp will generally be accepted directly by Guernsey authorities as confirmation of the document’s authenticity without need for further certification in Guernsey.

However, documents from non-Apostille countries must be legalized by the authorities of the issuing country and then attested by the local Guernsey embassy or consulate. This applies to documents in countries such as: AE United Arab EmiratesUnited Arab Emirates - TW TaiwanTaiwan - MY MalaysiaMalaysia - TH ThailandThailand - ZM ZambiaZambia - QA QatarQatar

Certified Translation

When documents are written in a language that is not an official language of Guernsey, then a certified translation may also be required. It is important to ensure that the certified translation is valid for use in Guernsey. Translations not done in Guernsey may require separate legalization alongside the original document.

Our presence in different jurisdictions and our local experience and expertise dealing directly with authorities and embassies in different countries means we can save you time, frustration and money, ensuring that documents are properly prepared so that they are accepted by Guernsey authorities.
