Any instructions received from the overseas lawyer, bank or receiving authority
The company name and Companies House registration number
The company’s incorporation documents

Another document confirming the person’s appointment and authority

A valid national identity card
A photographic driving licence
Accepted proof of address normally includes:
A utility bill
A Council Tax bill
A bank statement or letter from the bank dated within the last three months
Original identification and relevant company documents may need to be presented at the appointment. Additional company or ownership information may also be required to satisfy the notary’s professional and regulatory obligations.
For overseas companies, please provide the available constitutional documents and a recent extract from the relevant company register. A certified translation may be required if the documents are not in English or Polish.
What Happens During the Corporate Notarisation Process
Once the documents and company information have been reviewed, we will confirm the likely process, quotation and timescale.
The notary may need to:
Conduct a Companies House or overseas company-register search
Verify the company’s legal existence
Confirm the signatory’s identity, position and authority
Review the requirements of the receiving country
Contact the overseas lawyer or receiving authority for clarification
Witness the document being signed
Prepare and attach the appropriate notarial certificate
The notary’s role is limited to the notarial and procedural requirements of the document. Advice about the underlying transaction, the contents of the document or foreign law should be obtained from the company’s legal advisers in the relevant jurisdiction.
Where no further legalisation is required, the completed document can usually be provided following the appointment. If an apostille or further embassy or consular legalisation is required, we will explain the available options and likely timescale.
Depending on the destination country, the notarised corporate document may require an apostille from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office or further legalisation through an embassy or consulate. We can explain the likely requirements and assist with the legalisation process.
Urgent, mobile and out-of-hours appointments
Urgent appointments may be available for straightforward corporate documents, subject to receiving all required information and completing the necessary company and identity checks.
Mobile, evening and weekend appointments may also be arranged, subject to availability and additional charges. Please see our fees page for further information.
Appointments are by prior arrangement only. We do not accept walk-in appointments because all corporate documents and signatory information must be reviewed before a meeting can be scheduled.
