Pronounced “a-poss-steel” (a French word meaning footnote) the Apostille Certificate is something most people only ever need once in their lives. If you have any legal dealings outside your country, it is very likely you will be asked to obtain one.

Since the introduction of the Companies Act in 1985 all UK companies have been required by law to have at least two officers appointed to the company at all times. However the latest changes to the Act have removed this requirement.
