Notarial service for individuals

If you have interests overseas, you may need to authenticate your documentation so it is acceptable to public and legal authorities abroad.

How can we help?

A notary acts as an impartial legal officer who verifies and certifies provable facts under their signature and official seal for clients with business, property or court proceedings outside England and Wales.

To avoid missing a vital deadline, try to come to us as soon as you can since some countries require more than a notary's signature and seal. Further authentication from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office or applicable Consulate may be needed.

For the most efficient use of our notary service follow these guidelines:

1. 1. Speed - speak to a notary as soon as possible
2. 2. Documentation - be ready to provide them with a copy of the document and any covering letter from the person who prepared the document to be notarised
3. 3. Proof of identity - when you meet the notary bring along passports and utility bills showing the residential addresses of each person signing the document
