Documents which are to be used overseas often need to be prepared or certified by a notary. Notaries are authorised to prepare and certify many different types of document, to be produced in other countries. Every country has its own requirements as to how legal documents are prepared, executed and certified.

Frequently, once a document has been notarised, some further formalities must be undertaken before it can be used overseas; these formalities may include consular legalisation in accordance with the 1961 Hague convention abolishing legalisation. An apostille is a certificate issued by the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office confirming the signature and seal of the notary and this procedure is accepted in an increasing number of countries.
