We assist with the certification of your P60 & P45 by a UK solicitor registered with the UK Legalisation Office to obtain legalisation by way of Hague apostille.

UK documents apostille services
The document legalisation process can be performed on an original or copy of P60 or P45. There is no difference in the process or the cost, in both options the certificates must be first certified by a UK solicitor who is registered with the legalisation department of the Legalisation Office the FCDO. Once certification is completed as an original or certified copy Hague apostille certificate will be issued based on the solicitor’s signature.
Get a p60 legalised
If you already have the P60 or P45 certified by a UK solicitor or Notary Public please note that not every solicitor is on the Foreign Office database. If the document will be rejected due to a missing signature with the FCDO database please ask your solicitor to contact the FCDO registration team via email.
The solicitor’s registration process should take no longer than 3 working days to complete.
If the time is sensitive we would recommend certifying the documents again with our solicitor who is registered with the legalisation department of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). The documents legalised by way of the Hague Apostille might require further consular legalisation.

Frequently Ask Questions
Why do I need to apostille my P60 HMRC certificate?
In some cases, the P60 certificate is proof that you have been working in the UK and how much tax was paid. Greek authorities might ask you to provide the P60 certificate for their universal compulsory military service. P60 is often used as proof of your tax year income for mortgage and other financial applications. P60 is also known as an end-of-year certificate.
All public documents for use in foreign countries require legalisation. Foreign public documents cannot be legalised through our e apostille service.
Do I have to legalise my P60 & P45 certificates if its already apostilled?
If you are going to use a UK document (self-assessment tax return) in a foreign country that is not a party to the Hague Convention Abolishing Foreign Legalisation then further legalisation is required. The documents issued by HMRC (original documents) can apply for an e-apostille. Please note that foreign documents are excluded from the apostille service.

Do I have to translate my P60 or P45?
Only if your requesting party requires translation, we can assist with the apostille of your income tax documents and then the translation will be applied to the apostilled income tax certificates.
What is the difference between P60 and P45?
P60 is the annual PAYE form with statements of earnings for the tax year. P60 is issued by your current employer, it contains information regarding your wages including gross earnings and deducted tax.
If you work for two different employers during the same fiscal year you will receive two P60 certificates. Your employer should provide you with a P60 certificate after 5 April each year.
You can find the following information on your P60 certificate; National Insurance Number, Pay and income tax details, statutory payments, employer name, address tax references, and tax code.
A P45 certificate is received by a former employer when you leave work. It’s a legal requirement for your employer to provide you with P45. The new employer will be providing P45 when you start a new job.
There are four parts to P45. You will receive 3 of these, the fourth goes to HMRC. Fiscal information on P45 relates to the current tax year not the entire history of employment. Information on P45; your name, address, DOB, NIN leaving date, tax code, gross salary for the tax year, and deducted amount of your income. P60 & P45 provide information on overpaid tax, tax you’ve paid, and tax credits within the financial year.
Which one I should apostille to provide evidence of a fiscal residency to avoid double taxation?
If you are currently employed you should provide your P60 provided by your employer soon after 5 April each year. If you have left the job you should provide a P45 certificate
