Notary Fees in Manchester
KG Notary Public provides transparent notary fees for individuals and businesses in Manchester. The cost depends on the type and number of documents, the work required and whether an apostille, embassy legalisation, translation or courier service is needed.
Before arranging an appointment, please send us a copy of each document, confirm the country where it will be used and include any instructions received from the overseas lawyer or receiving authority. We will review the information and provide a detailed quotation before your appointment.
Notary Fees for Individuals and Businesses
Our minimum notarial fees are:
Individual notarisation: from £99 including VAT
Individual power of attorney: from £135 including VAT
Corporate notarisation: from £150 plus VAT
Corporate power of attorney: from £200 plus VAT
Additional personal documents connected with the same matter: £25–£55 including VAT per document
Additional corporate documents connected with the same matter: £80 plus VAT per document
The minimum fee generally applies to straightforward matters such as notarising a passport or identity-document copy, affidavit, statutory declaration or child travel consent letter.
More complex documents may involve a higher fee because of the additional preparation, verification, research or communication required.
Complex matters and hourly rate
Where the exact fee cannot be determined in advance, work may be charged at £240 plus VAT per hour. We will explain the fee structure and provide an estimate based on the information supplied before beginning the work.
The hourly rate may include reviewing and preparing documents, carrying out checks and communicating with you, your representatives, lawyers, advisers or relevant authorities in the UK or overseas.
All prices include VAT where expressly stated. Fees shown as “plus VAT” are subject to VAT at the applicable rate, currently 20%.

Minor handwritten amendments to the original notarial act during or after the appointment will normally be made without an additional notarial fee.
If you require an additional document, a new original or a replacement document containing amendments, the following fees normally apply:
Personal documents: £25–£55 including VAT per document
Corporate documents: £80 plus VAT per document
The exact charge depends on the document and the work required.

Some documents intended for use abroad may require a paper apostille or further embassy or consular legalisation. Please see our Apostille and Legalisation page for further information about the available options, charges and likely timescales.
You will be informed of any known disbursements before we incur them on your behalf.
