What our customers have to say

“I needed to have my degree certificate and ACRO police certificate (ICPC) notarised before sending them on to be legalised by the FCO and then the Chinese Embassy. I was incredibly pleased with the notarisation service that Ms Colwill provided. As many others have said, she was professional, patient, and very efficient. All of the above at a very reasonable price – set and clear from the start. I’m certain that I’ll be returning to Ms Colwill if I ever need documents notarised again.”

FAQs

What is a notary public?

A notary public is a legal professional who is qualified and authorised to witness and certify the signing of documents, administer oaths, and authenticate documents for use abroad. Their primary role is to ensure that documents are genuine, properly executed, and legally valid in the country where they will be used. Notaries are often required for international legal matters such as property purchases overseas, immigration documents, or business contracts.

When do you need notary services?

You may need a notary for a variety of situations, including but not limited to:

• Authenticating documents for international transactions
• Certifying copies of official documents
• Witnessing signatures on legal documents
• Administering oaths, affirmations and declarations
• Handling documents related to foreign adoptions
• Verifying the identity of individuals signing documents

If you’re not sure whether you require notary services, get in touch with our team, who can advise.

What do you need to prepare for a notary public appointment?

To prepare for a notary appointment, bring the following:

• The document(s) you need notarised
• Valid photo identification (e.g., passport, driving licence)
• Any additional supporting documents required for your specific case
• Ensure all signatories are present if the document requires multiple signatures

Is notarisation legally binding in other countries?

Yes, documents notarised by a notary public in the UK are recognised internationally. However, some countries may require additional authentication, such as an apostille or legalisation. We can assist you with these additional requirements too if needed.

Can anyone provide notary services?

Not anyone can provide notary services, as a notary public is a qualified lawyer, appointed by the Court of Faculties of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Notaries are normally concerned with the authentication of documents and certification of signatures, authority and capacity in relation to documents to be used abroad. If you need to certify degrees or certificates, we can help.

The seal and signature of a Notary on a document indicates to the authorities in the destination country that the relevant checks and formalities have been carried out.
