A passport and proof of address are required for notarisation.
Once completed, you will receive a hard copy and a scanned copy by email of the notarised document along with your payment receipt.
Notarisation of a document is the verification of an original document and the creation of a notarised copy by dating it, adding the required stamps and seals, and affixing a Notarial Certificate.
Notarising a document with a signature means a Notary Public certifies a person’s signature on the document to confirm the signer is the person named in the document.
If your document requires an Apostille, it is typically ready for collection from our office within 2–3 working days.

We notarise UK documents for a wide range of purposes, including setting up a company abroad, swearing an affidavit, granting a power of attorney, and certificate or degree attestations. Common notarised copies include medical certificates, university degrees and diplomas, bank statements, passports, driving licences, identity cards and utility bills.
Some countries permit bundling documents under a single Notarial Certificate. Your Notary Public will guide you through the process and ensure your paperwork meets the required standards. To avoid delays, please check with the recipient for any specific instructions.
Depending on the destination country, additional attachments may be required (for example, a passport copy or proof of address).

If the document is to be used in the UK, it will usually only need certification with a Commissioner for Oaths stamp. If the document is to be used abroad, it will typically require notarisation and an Apostille; depending on the destination country, it may also require consular attestation. Please contact us for a competitive quote.
Some documents, such as British birth or marriage certificates, are protected by Crown Copyright. We cannot make certified copies of these; they may instead only require the Apostille to be attached to the original.
Not all documents require notarisation before obtaining an Apostille from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). For example, documents such as an ACRO police certificate bearing an official signature, or UK vital records (birth, death, marriage certificates), can often receive the Apostille without notarisation.
UK Overseas Territories documents generally require notarisation (unless instructed otherwise). Some jurisdictions (e.g., South Africa) may only require notarisation. If the destination country is a member of the Hague Convention, documents typically require Notarisation + Apostille. If it is not a member, documents commonly require Notarisation + Apostille + Consular Attestation. Read our Legalisation page to learn more.
