Notarial services
Contacting us when you need a
notary
Our clients occasionally need to have documents notarised. Notaries are
mainly involved in authenticating documents and information for use
overseas.

Type
of work undertaken by a notary
The services of a notary are
often necessary in the following situations:
- making applications to, or registering with, official bodies regarding transactions or events (for example when applying for overseas patents and other intellectual property)
- the preparation and the witnessing of powers of attorney for use outside the United Kingdom
- authenticating company information and the status of company officers and representatives (for example, the existence and good standing of a company or the capacity and authority of a director)
- certifying that agreements have been validly executed under English law
- certifying copies and translations of documents
Fees
Notarial work is charged for on the length of time taken (charged at £160 per hour).
In practice the simplest and most routine notarial tasks are usually dealt within 20 to 30 minutes (approximately £53 to £80). For common documents (such powers of attorney) the time involved required is usually 30 to 60 minutes (£80 to £160), and will depend, for example, on the amount of discussion needed with the client, the number of necessary changes to the document, and the requirements of the particular country where the document is going to.
Many commercial clients prefer to have documents notarised at their premises. We are happy to make appointments to do so.
