Is an Apostille Service the same as a Notary Service?

An apostille and notary apply the similar function technically. However, the main difference is that notarising documents are used in the UK only, meaning that your notarised documents are valid only within the UK that they were certified in, while an apostille stamp/certificate makes your documents valid in other countries.
