Notary Fees in the UK – How Much Does It Cost?

In accordance with the Notarial Practice Rules, we, as Notaries in the United Kingdom, will provide either a written cost quotation or explain the mechanism used to calculate fees before undertaking any work for our clients.

Typical costs: In the UK, a notary fee for a single document usually ranges from £40 to £100 + VAT, depending on the complexity of the document and the service required. Personal documents are generally less expensive than business documents.

Check the cost of your notarisation: Before booking an appointment, please email notary@inotarypublic.co.uk and we will provide you with an accurate quotation and confirm availability, so your documents can be processed as quickly as possible.

How Do We Work Out Our Fees?

Several factors influence the cost of notarisation, including:

Mobile Notary Fees

Our Notary can also visit you. A mobile notary appointment within 30 minutes’ travel of our Waterloo office is charged at £150 + VAT plus the cost of notarisation.

Discounts and Large Volume Work

We usually charge on a per-document basis. However, if you require a home or office visit, have a large volume of documents, or your notarisation is particularly complex, an hourly service rate may apply. Please contact us to discuss discounted rates for bulk notarisation.
