Anyone help with a few questions on Yellow Slip application please.

Hello,
I am looking for some clarification on what I need to do to get my application ready for the interview for the Yellow slip which I have booked in December. My wife and I have UK passports and have owned a property in Paphos for some time visiting briefly each year until 2017 when I retired and we have been increasing the number and length of visits from then.
I have my original marriage certificate with me now in Cyprus but the marriage was conducted in UK and the checklist provided from the immigration says that I need an Apostille for the marriage certificate. Does anyone know what this entails and how I go about getting it?
My original Title Deeds are currently in the UK but I have pdfs that I can print-out here in Cyprus. The man at the immigration reception said that these would be ok to submit provided that they are stamped. I am not sure what stamp is required. If it is from the solicitor then I can visit them in Paphos, but I’m not sure if this is what is needed or if I need a stamp from some other authority. Does anyone have some information on this please?
Regards,
Derek.

Last I heard it was no longer a requirement.

Many thanks for the replies. I had thought the apostille was something to be done in Cyprus but now I understand. I also contacted Gwenny's who provided a requirements list that indicated that an apostille is not required in the case of a UK marriage certificate.
Best wishes,
Derek
