Notary Services
Certain documents intended for use abroad must be formally certified or legalised. We arrange notarial services to ensure documents are recognised in other jurisdictions.
Clients often require notary services when dealing with overseas property transactions, business matters, or personal legal affairs. We assist with certifying documents, witnessing signatures and guiding clients through the legalisation process, including obtaining an apostille where required.
Services Include
Certification of Documents
We provide certification services to confirm the authenticity of documents. This includes:
- Certifying true copies of original documents, such as passports, certificates, contracts, or academic records
- Confirming the authenticity of signatures on legal documents
- Ensuring documents meet the legal standards required by UK authorities or third parties
Certification is often required for immigration, property transactions, or international legal matters.
Witnessing Signatures
Certain documents require signatures to be witnessed by a qualified notary to be legally valid. We assist by:
- Acting as a witness to signatures on powers of attorney, contracts, and statutory declarations
- Providing impartial verification that the signatory has signed freely and understands the document
- Ensuring all witnessing is compliant with UK law and international requirements
Apostille & Legalisation
For documents that need to be used internationally, legalisation may be required. We assist clients with:
- Obtaining apostilles for documents destined for countries that are members of the Hague Convention
- Handling legalisation processes for countries outside the Hague Convention
- Advising on document preparation to ensure acceptance by foreign authorities
This service is essential for international business, immigration, education, and personal legal matters.
