A Notary Public is an internationally recognised lawyer who deals with all kinds of documents for use anywhere in the world by attaching their signature and seal. Visit my services page
for a list of some of the many notarial services I provide.
A Notary Public is usually required when dealing with overseas matters. A Notary Public can act as an impartial and trained witness to authenticate and certify the execution of documents required or intended for use outside of England & Wales. In some instances, a Notary Public's services may also be required for use in England & Wales.
A Notary Public’s responsibility is to everyone who may rely on the documents, not just the person who asks the Notary Public to authenticate them. The Notary Public will usually need to carry out checks into what is being notarised. It is expected that the Notary Public verifies the identity of those who appear before them. It is therefore essential to always bring ID. Visit my FAQs
for more guidance. Anyone who relies on a Notary Public's document will assume that the identity of the appearers have been verified and that the facts and documents are true (unless otherwise stated).
