How an appointment works

Before you book

Tell us what the document is, which country it is for and your deadline. We confirm the route and our fees in writing before anything is arranged.

At your appointment

Bring your identification and the original documents. We check everything, witness any signatures and complete the notarial certificate.

After your appointment

Where an apostille or embassy legalisation is needed we submit the documents for you, then return them ready to use.

Can my solicitor do this instead?

Usually not. Most overseas authorities ask for a notarial certificate, and in England and Wales only a Notary Public can provide one. Many solicitors refer this work to a notary.

What is an apostille?

An apostille is a certificate issued by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) that confirms the signature and seal on a UK public document, including a notary’s. It is accepted in every country that has signed the Hague Apostille Convention.

What if the country is not part of the Hague Convention?

Then the document usually needs consular legalisation as well. After the FCDO stage it goes to that country’s embassy or high commission in London for its own stamp. We handle the submissions for you.

How much will it cost?

Fees depend on the document, the number of signatures and whether legalisation is needed. Our fees page sets out our standard charges, and we will always confirm the full cost before we start.
