Overview
What this service covers
Notarisation is often the first step in a longer chain. A notary public confirms who signed a document, that they had authority to do so, and that the document is what it claims to be — creating the formal record that later stages of legalisation build on.
We arrange notarisation and certification for a wide range of legal and business documents, and confirm in advance that the form of notarisation used will be accepted by the authority receiving it. Where notarisation is a prerequisite for apostille or consular legalisation, we sequence the whole route as one process.
What's included
Scope of work
Notarial appointments
Arranging attendance before a notary public, including coordination where signatories are in different locations.
Certified true copies
Officially certified copies of originals where the receiving authority will accept them in place of the original document.
Corporate document notarisation
Board resolutions, powers of attorney, articles, certificates of good standing, and commercial agreements.
Wording and format review
Confirming the notarial certificate and document wording will satisfy the destination authority before the appointment takes place.
Onward legalisation
Where notarisation is a prerequisite, we carry the document straight through to apostille or consular legalisation.

FAQs
Common questions
The signatory whose signature is being notarised generally needs to attend before the notary. Where signatories are in different countries we coordinate separate appointments or alternative arrangements acceptable to the receiving authority.
Sometimes, but frequently not. Many foreign authorities require notarisation followed by apostille or consular legalisation. We confirm the full requirement at the outset so nothing has to be repeated.
Yes. Where the document or the receiving authority requires it, we arrange certified or sworn translation alongside notarisation.
