What is a High Court of Justice Document?

A High Court of Justice document refers to any legal paperwork issued or endorsed by the High Court of Justice in England and Wales. 

These documents encompass a wide range of legal matters and include: 

When Do You Need Notarisation For a High Court of Justice Document?

You may need notarised High Court documents if you’re involved in legal proceedings or transactions abroad.

High Court documents require notarisation for legal validity and smooth acceptance by foreign entities. This includes court judgments and orders that need enforcement or recognition abroad.

Navigating such complexities can be challenging. We offer professional notary public services tailored to your specific needs, ensuring your High Court documents meet all legal requirements and are readily accepted overseas.

How Was Your High Court of Justice Document Issued?

The steps required for notarisation and legalisation will depend on how your document was issued:

  • An original court document, stamped or sealed by the court, or signed by an official of the court

This can be apostilled directly and notarisation isn’t required.  

  • An original court document, not stamped, sealed or signed by a court, or an official of the court

This must be notarised first. We will need to verify its authenticity with the Court. After it has been notarised we can submit it to the FCDO to be apostilled.

  • A printout of your electronic court document produced from the original PDF or other electronic document

We will need to notarise this before we can apostille it.  

We will need to verify where you logged in to download it to complete the notarisation. If the court document was emailed to you we would need to see the original email from the court.

E-Notarisation and E-apostille

We can e-notarise a copy of a High Court of Justice document.  

We strongly recommend checking with whoever you will be submitting the document to as to whether they will accept e-notarisation and an e-apostille before proceeding.
