Apostille Death Certificate
An apostille death certificate is required when a UK-issued death certificate must be used in a foreign country. Whether for inheritance claims, pension processing, or property matters abroad, a legalised death certificate ensures legal recognition.
At 2E Apostille, we provide same day apostille death certificate services for individuals, law firms, and estate administrators across the UK, processing documents through the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).
