What to Send Before Your Appointment
What Happens at Your Notary Appointment
Once the documents and instructions have been reviewed, we will confirm the likely process, quotation and timescale. Your appointment will usually take approximately 30 minutes.
During the appointment, the notary may:
Verify your identity
Confirm your legal capacity and authority to act
Check that you understand the document
Witness your signature
Certify copies of original documents
Prepare and attach the appropriate notarial certificate
Where no further legalisation is required, the completed document can usually be provided at the appointment. If an apostille or further embassy or consular legalisation is required, we will explain the available options and likely timescale.
Same-day, mobile and out-of-hours appointments
Same-day appointments may be available for straightforward documents, subject to availability. Complex matters, document verification and documents requiring amendments or translation may take longer.
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 documents must be reviewed before a meeting can be scheduled.
Depending on the destination country, your notarised 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.
