If a document is to be sent outside Ireland then sometimes the person/party to whom it is being sent might ask that it is "Apostilled" or "Legalised" before it leaves Ireland.

If you are asked for either of these we suggest you instead visit a Notary Public. A Notary Public

"I found Paul to be very professional and his fees very reasonable on both occasions we made use of his services. We didn't know how to proceed with all the documents and before we met him the first time he explained what they were about and how to proceed. We then visited him in Gorey and he got it sorted out very quickly for us. We highly recommend Paul and his service''
