Penzance is about 255 miles from London, so a postal service saves a long trip. We help customers in Penzance and across West Cornwall by tracked post.
If you need a replacement certificate
Birth, marriage and death certificates registered in Cornwall can be ordered through Cornwall Council’s registration offices, which include Penzance, or from the General Register Office. If yours is missing or damaged, order an official replacement before you send it to us. See our birth certificate guide.
Sending documents from Cornwall
Send your original documents to us by tracked, signed-for post and we return them by tracked delivery. Keep your proof of postage and a copy of everything you send. Contact us first if you are unsure whether you need an original or a certified copy.
Cost
Our apostille price is £100 per document, including the FCDO fee and tracked return, and we aim to finish within 2 working days of your documents arriving at our office. Notarisation or solicitor certification, where needed, is quoted separately before you pay. See our pricing page.
