Still have questions?
Our team is here to help you understand your requirements and the next steps.
What is a Notary Public?
A Notary Public is a qualified legal professional who authenticates documents, verifies identities and witnesses signatures.
Notarial services are commonly required when personal or business documents are intended for use overseas.
Do I need an apostille as well as notarisation?
This depends on the document and the requirements of the country or organisation receiving it. Some documents only require notarisation, while others need an apostille or additional embassy legalisation. Our team can help you understand the process.
How much does notarisation cost?
Fees depend on the type and number of documents, the work involved and whether additional legalisation is needed. Contact us with your requirements for a personalised, no-obligation quote.
How long does the process take?
Timescales vary depending on your documents, appointment availability and any apostille or legalisation requirements. If you have a deadline, let us know when enquiring so we can discuss the available options.
What should I bring to my appointment?
You will generally need a valid form of photographic identification, proof of address and the documents requiring notarisation. Additional information may be needed depending on your circumstances. Our team will confirm what to bring before your appointment.
Can you notarise documents for my business?
Yes. We assist businesses with a range of corporate and commercial documents, including powers of attorney and documents connected with international transactions. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
