Frequently asked questions

This is the most common question. A Solicitor primarily gives legal advice and acts on your behalf within the UK legal system. A Notary Public is a specialist lawyer who authenticates and certifies documents and signatures for use outside the UK. Their role is to verify identities, witness signatures, and apply an official seal to ensure documents are recognised by authorities in foreign countries.

To ensure a smooth and efficient process, please bring the following:

  • The Document(s): Bring all documents that need notarisation. Do not sign them beforehand.
  • Proof of Identity: An original, valid passport or photocard driving licence.
  • Proof of Address: A recent (last 3 months) utility bill, bank statement, or council tax bill.
  • Any Instructions: If you have received specific instructions from a foreign authority or lawyer, please bring those along.


The Notary's official signature and unique seal (or "notarial stamp") are crucial for the "legalisation" or "apostille" process. They act as a guarantee to foreign governments, companies, and courts that the document is genuine and that your identity was properly verified by a qualified legal professional in the UK. Without this, your document will likely be rejected abroad.

An Apostille is a certificate issued by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) that authenticates the Notary's signature and seal. It is required for countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention. If your document is going to a country not in the Convention, it may require further legalisation by the country's embassy. We can advise you on the specific requirements and often handle the entire process for you.

Fees depend on the complexity of the work, the number of documents, and whether an Apostille or legalisation is needed. For standard notarisations (e.g., witnessing a single signature on a power of attorney), we typically charge a fixed fee. We will always provide a clear, transparent quotation before any work begins, so you know exactly what to expect.

Yes, in many cases we can provide notarial services remotely via a video call. This is known as an "electronic notarisation" and is suitable for various documents, depending on the requirements of the receiving country. Please contact us with the details of your document, and we will confirm if a remote appointment is possible.

The notarisation itself can often be completed at your appointment. However, obtaining an Apostille from the FCDO usually takes 5 to 10 working days after we submit it. If embassy legalisation is required, the process can take several weeks, depending on the specific embassy. We also offer a fast-track processing service for an additional fee, subject to availability.

Absolutely. We regularly notarise documents in foreign languages. However, for you to understand what you are signing, we will typically need a certified translation of the document. We can arrange this for you through our network of professional translators, ensuring the entire process is seamless.

Yes, this is one of our most common services. We can witness your signature on a Power of Attorney destined for abroad, verify your identity, and apply the necessary notarial certificate and seal to ensure it is valid for its intended use. We recommend you provide us with any instructions from the foreign lawyer in advance.

We understand that international matters can be time-sensitive. We always do our best to accommodate urgent requests, including offering same-day appointments for notarisation where possible. Please call us directly to discuss your urgent requirement, and we will find a solution for you.
