What is a notary public?

Whenever your business needs to deal with foreign documents, it’s likely you’ll need a notary public. This is a legal professional who is officially authorised to prepare, witness, and authenticate them. For any business document that is to be used outside of England and Wales, the seal of approval from a notary public will confirm its authenticity. If you’ve found yourself in a situation that requires the services of a notary public, contact us here.

Notarisation describes the process of authenticating international documentation. For commercial purposes this might include verifying the authenticity of the company and also its directors . Only a fully registered and enrolled notary public can provide the necessary seal of approval. To notarise a document, a notary public will:

  • Check documents with the issuing body.
  • Certify copies.
  • Check your identity.
  • Ensure you understand the document.
  • Witness your signature.
  • Sign and seal documents.
  • Produce a certificate.
  • Obtain verification from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office or from the receiving company’s embassy.
  • Arrange delivery overseas.
  • Maintain and keep copies of documents indefinitely.

The most likely time you’ll need notary services is when you have documents that are needed abroad. The notary’s seal confirms the legality of the document to the authorities of another country.

There are many documents that can require a notary’s seal. Buying property abroad, producing educational certificates for employment, sponsorship for visitors to the UK, adoption issues and authenticating foreign wills are just some of the issues we can help you with. Even if you just want to open a bank account in another country, you are likely to require notarisation.

Some countries seek an extra level of legalisation which may require the authentication of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The certificate that gets issued in this situation confirms the notary public’s signature. If you need this, we can help you – just get in touch.
