NOTARIAL
SERVICES
Alastair Caisley
is qualified as a notary as
well as being a solicitor and is able to provide notarial services
to you.
Who is
a notary and what does he do?
A notary is a public official who is legally authorised to affirm
the truth of documents and to confirm their authenticity, especially
documents that are to be used overseas.
Notaries are
widely recognised internationally. Many documents notarised by
a notary will need authentication by either the Foreign and Commonwealth
Office or the embassy of the country in which the document is
to be used ('legalisation'). We can advise you on this and arrange
for the appropriate legalisation.
A notary identifies
himself on documents by use of his individual seal. Such seals
are regarded by most other countries as of great importance for
establishing the genuineness of a document. A notary's seal is
registered with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and with many
foreign embassies and consulates.
Checklist
for seeing a notary
Usually the notary will:
• Need you to bring evidence of identity e.g. a passport
• Need you to be certain that you understand a document,
particularly if it is not in English
• Need to see any relevant papers or documents
Fees
• The basic charge is £80 (plus VAT) for
simple witnessing of a document.
• Where additional work is required, such as preparing
a certificate or sending a document for legislation at the Foreign
and Commonwealth Office or an Embassy, this will be charged on
a time spent basis.
• The Foreign and Commonwealth Office currently charge
£12 per document and further fees are generally payable
to Embassies/Consulates for legalisation.
