Companies tendering for contracts in some overseas countries need the tender documents notarised and legalised as a matter of urgency. With the help of my consular agent in London, I can arrange for such documents to be legalised (called an apostille) from the FCO the next working day, to receive any required consular stamp and to be sent to the destination address by DHL courier. I can also send a scan of the notarised document by email to the recipient if this will expedite matters.
