Our Notary Process
Process: The initial step to have your documents notarised is to provide a scanned copy of your documents along with information on the jurisdiction where the documents will be utilised.
Quotation: Upon receipt of your documents, we will provide a quotation and outline the identification requirements. If the quote is accepted, we will arrange the best time for you to meet with the Notary.
For certain documents, you may opt for a video appointment. Please note that this service is available on a case-by-case basis and is limited to individuals domiciled in the UK.
Meeting: Once the fee quote is accepted and the appointment has been scheduled, you will meet with one of our Notaries, depending on your preferred language. You will need to verify your identity by presenting your original passport or photo ID. The meeting typically lasts about 15 minutes. Depending on the circumstances and the nature of the documents, you may either wait for the Notary to complete the notarisation process or return later to collect the notarised documents.

Legalisation: If your documents require further apostille and legalisation, we will notify you upon completion of the notarisation process and provide a quotation and timeframe for legalisation
Frequently Ask Questions
Why do I need Notary Public?
The need for a Notary Public arises from the requirements of the country where the document will be used. Notaries play a crucial role in verifying the authenticity of documents and confirming the identity of individuals signing them. Here are some common reasons why you might need a Notary Public:
1. Legal Requirements: Certain legal documents, such as contracts, affidavits, and powers of attorney, require notarization to be legally binding.

3. International Transactions: Notary services are used in international business transactions, contracts and agreements may need to be notarised to be recognised in foreign countries. Notaries help authenticate these documents and ensure they meet the legal requirements of the relevant jurisdiction.
4. Legalisation and Apostille: Some countries require documents to be notarised before they can be legalised or apostilled for use overseas. Notaries play a crucial role in this process by certifying the authenticity of the document before it undergoes further authentication procedures. We assist in legalising documents such, as statutory declarations, and notarial acts for both individual clients and company directors. Our Notaries are also experienced solicitors who can assist you with original documents for Hague Convention countries.
5. Preventing Fraud: Notaries help prevent fraud by verifying the identity of individuals signing documents and ensuring they are doing so willingly and knowingly. This helps protect the integrity of legal transactions.
Overall, the role of a Notary Public is to provide an impartial and trustworthy verification of documents, ensuring they meet the necessary legal standards for use in a specific jurisdiction or context.
Depending on your circumstances, you may need assistance in drafting your documents. The time required for drafting can vary based on the type and complexity of the document.
