Other matters

When enlisting the services of our notary public services please be aware of the following:

  • Make an appointment 
  • Do not sign anything in advance of the appointment  
  • Bring a copy of the document 
  • Any supporting documentation 
  • Identification
    • - for individuals: - a current valid passport, or driving licence, utility bill or bank statements
    • - for companies: - information can usually be obtained from Companies House, however, occasionally original minute books/board resolutions may need to be provided.

Only original certificates not copies are acceptable as evidence of public records such as those of birth, marriage and death.

Our notarial responsibility extends only to the notarial formalities themselves and not to other documents which we have not prepared. You may need separate advice on these aspects.

The service requires your attendance at our offices unless, in exceptional cases, when a home visit - at an additional cost- is required.
