FAQs

A Notary Public is a fully qualified lawyer – a member of the third and oldest branch of the legal profession within the United Kingdom.

They are appointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury and are subject to regulation by the Court of Faculties. The rules which affect Notaries Public are very similar to the rules which affect Solicitors.

You will require a Notary Public if a document in question needs to be sent outside of the UK. Notaries are recognised internationally in this regard.

A Notary must be fully insured and maintain fidelity cover for the protection of their clients and the public. In addition, a Notary public must also keep clients’ money separately from their own and comply with stringent practice rules and rules relating to conduct and discipline. Notaries also have to renew their practising certificates every year and can only do so if they have complied with the rules.

Legalisation is the process by which the signature and seal of the Notary Public are authenticated by the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and/or the embassy or consulate of the country in which the document is to be used.

The apostille can only be issued by the FCDO but this can also be referred to as legalisation. When a document is stamped by an embassy or consulate it is only called legalisation.

When I sign and stamp a document, the person receiving that document in a foreign country needs confidence that I am a genuine notary. This is where the apostille or legalisation comes in. My signature and seal have both been registered at the FCDO, embassies and consulates in the UK. When my notarial document is sent to these places my signature and seal will be checked against the records held. They can then issue the apostille or legalisation stamp which is normally affixed to the back of the document.

An apostille is issued in accordance with the Hague Convention 1961. As such it is sometimes referred to as a Hague stamp.

Documents going to countries which are, or have been, part of the British Commonwealth seldom need legalisation nor, at present, do documents going to many parts of the United States.

  • Prior to an appointment with South London Notary, you will need the following:The document or documents will require the seal and signature of the notary. Please make sure that you do not sign or have it witnessed before the appointment. It is imperative that everything is done in my presence as the notary.
  • Any instructions which have been given by the lawyer or foreign Notary who has prepared the document, needs to be provided in advance of our meeting. There are sometimes requirements about signing each page or even the colour of the ink.
  • Your passport or, if you do not have a passport, a government issued document which bears your photograph such as a modern driving licence and a document which proves where you live such as a recent utility bill or bank statement. If you have difficulty producing such original documents, I shall need to discuss with you what evidence of identity I shall need to see to satisfy myself that you are the person you say you are.
  • If you have received the document electronically, please forward it to my email address in advance of the appointment. Please check the document carefully for errors in your name, address and passport number. If I have received the document electronically I should be able to make any necessary amendment to the document.
  • (subject to the agreement of you or the recipient abroad).

I will normally quote you a fixed fee before I commence any Notary work. If this is not possible because the work required is particularly complex then I will inform you of my fee structure in advance.

We needed a Notary Public quite urgently and read the reviews about the service and felt quite confident to call and as they are very local to me. I telephoned Anthony who answered and who was very polite and friendly. Anthony asked me relevant questions to estimate cost which were extremely reasonable compared to others I had recieved. Anthony was willing to offer an appointment the same day, but because I was bringing a family member who has mobility issues I requested an appointment for the next day which Anthony had no hesitation to do. There are facilities for limited parking outside the office, which was great. Anthony meet us on arrival and insured we were seen in an office on the ground floor. He was very polite and respectful. He took his time to go through all the documents to carry out the notarization. This was done within 45 minutes. We were sent scanned copies for our records. I cannot recommend Anthony Graham for his respectful and professional service. I highly recommend South London Notary.

Very thankful for Anthony. I needed the notary service at short notice and managed to secure a same-day appointment. The service to notarize my document and passport photos was thorough and informative and yet very warm and helpful. Anthony is delightfully down-to earth and the location was easy to find with a nice reception.

I need to travel back to my home country urgently and accompany my baby with me so I have to get a consent to travel a minor without my husband. I googled for notary services and I am very lucky to have found South London Notary. I called and Anthony was able to make an urgent appointment and my request was immediately accomplished in an hour. Swift service, and Anthony was very accommodating and professional. I highly recommend.
