If you are working, getting married or buying or selling a property abroad or you own a company that does business abroad, you will require a notary.
This will ensure all your key legal documents have been verified, prepared and legally recognised in countries outside the UK.
Notaries must verify for each client their identity, legal capacity and understanding of the document as well as their authority if signing on behalf of another party such as a limited company so they are legally valid for use overseas.
In England and Wales, a notary public is typically a qualified solicitor and may carry out other types of legal work.
Documents may need to be ‘legalised’ or ‘apostilled’. This refers to the process of verification by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), embassy or consulate where the Notary Public’s signature is checked. An ‘apostille’ is the certificate attached to the documents.
