Is United Kingdom a Hague Convention country?
Yes. The Apostille Convention has been in force for United Kingdom since 24 January 1965, and for the United States since 15 October 1981 — so a U.S. apostille is accepted in United Kingdom with no embassy step.
The route to United Kingdom
A EPA Certificate is issued by Environmental Protection Agency, a federal authority, so it is authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — never by a state office. For United Kingdom, that apostille is the finish line.
People most often send documents to United Kingdom for work visas, spousal visas, business registration. Receiving offices set their own requirements, so confirm what yours asks for — we’ll help you read it.
