LONDON, UK - February 11, 2025 - London Apostille Services Ltd today announced the launch of a specialised document legalisation service tailored to the growing number of UK digital nomads, remote workers, freelancers, and entrepreneurs choosing Mexico as their base.
This service addresses the increasing need for authenticated documents required for visas, tax residency, business registration, employment contracts, and crucial double taxation relief applications.
Mexico's Digital Nomad Boom and the UK-Mexico Double Taxation Agreement
Mexico's popularity as a digital nomad destination is surging, driven by its affordable cost of living, vibrant culture, strong expat communities and the introduction of long-term visitor permits. Cities like Mexico City, Oaxaca, Puerto Escondido, Tulum, and Cancun are attracting a significant influx of remote professionals, including many from the UK.
However, working legally in Mexico, and avoiding double taxation, requires properly authenticated documents, a process that can be complex and time-consuming.
For UK citizens, the UK-Mexico Double Taxation Convention is particularly important. This agreement aims to prevent individuals and businesses from being taxed twice on the same income in both countries. To claim relief under this treaty, UK citizens often need to provide authenticated documents to the Mexican tax authorities (Servicio de Administración Tributaria, or SAT).
Comprehensive Legalisation Solutions, Including Double Taxation Documents
London Apostille Services Ltd (LAS Ltd) offers a complete suite of services designed to simplify the document authentication process for UK remote workers in Mexico:
- Apostille Certification: Efficiently obtaining apostilles for documents originating from the UK (a Hague Convention member country), validating documents such as work contracts, tax residency certificates (e.g., forms from HMRC), and financial records. This verifies the document's origin and the authority of the official who signed it.
- Notarisation: Facilitating notarisation services with experienced solicitors and notaries, a requirement for some documents before legalisation by Mexican authorities.
- Certified Translations: Providing certified Spanish translations of documents, meeting the standards of Mexican government and business entities. Translations must be performed by translators certified by the Mexican judiciary.
- Embassy Legalisation: Managing the legalisation process for documents from countries not party to the Hague Convention (although this is less relevant for UK-origin documents).
- Double Taxation Relief Documentation: Specifically assisting with the legalisation of documents required to claim relief under the UK-Mexico Double Taxation Convention. This may include:
- Certificate of Residence: Issued by HMRC, confirming UK tax residency.
- Proof of Income: Payslips, tax returns (P60, P45, Self-Assessment statements), and bank statements.
- Company Documentation: For business owners, documents proving the company's UK tax status.
Eliminating Risks and Ensuring Compliance
Without proper legalisation, documents may be rejected by Mexican authorities, potentially causing delays or denials for visa approvals, work permits, tax residency, business registration, or double taxation relief claims.
London Apostille Services Ltd (LAS Ltd) mitigates these risks by providing reliable and accurate authentication, enabling clients to work and live in Mexico without legal setbacks. The apostille must be issued in the official language of the issuing authority.
