We legalise UK Coroner’s Reports for international use, providing solicitor certification where needed for FCDO acceptance.
What is a Coroner’s Report Apostille?
A Coroner’s Report is an official record of findings from a coroner’s investigation, often relating to cause of death.
You may need an apostille for:
-
Repatriation of remains
