What do you need notarised?
Tell me the document and the country — I will tell you exactly what is required, and what it costs, before you book.
- Personal Documents & Declarations Affidavits, statutory declarations, oaths and consents — prepared, witnessed and sealed for use abroad.
- Powers of Attorney Powers of attorney for property, money or business abroad — correctly executed so foreign authorities accept them.
- Apostille & FCDO Legalisation I obtain Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office apostilles so foreign authorities accept the notary's own signature.
- Embassy & Consular Legalisation For countries outside the Hague Convention, an apostille is not enough — embassy attestations are coordinated end to end.
- Corporate & Commercial Company documents, resolutions and contracts certified for overseas boards, registries and counterparties.
- Certified Copies & Translations Certified true copies and sworn translations packaged so both the UK and the destination authority accept them.
Why a notary — and why this one
A notary's seal, a lawyer's training.
Properly qualified
Notaries are lawyers appointed through the Faculty Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury — the oldest branch of the legal profession. My background in company and commercial law means document quality is checked like a lawyer's, not a stationer's.
One instruction, end to end
Foreign authorities rarely accept a plain signature: they want notarisation, an apostille, sometimes a sworn translation and an embassy stamp. You give me the document once — I coordinate every stage and return a pack that will pass at the other end.
Built around your deadline
Property completions, visas, court dates and hospital letters wait for nobody. Urgent enquiries are prioritised, most personal documents are executed the same day, and the real government turnaround times are confirmed before you pay.
Discreet and compliant
Identity, capacity and understanding are verified on every instruction under a published anti-money-laundering policy, with privacy notices and complaint routes set out plainly on this site.
The practical route
Four steps from enquiry to accepted document.
-
Enquire
Email, WhatsApp or call with the type of document, the country where it will be used, and your deadline. A scan or photo is ideal.
-
Fixed quote
You receive a written fixed fee covering the notarial act plus any apostille, translation or embassy disbursements — confirmed before any work begins.
-
Attend & sign
Meet at the Northampton office (or another arrangement where the destination authority allows). Bring your passport and proof of address; I verify capacity and understanding, then witness and seal.
-
Certified & returned
I arrange the FCDO apostille or embassy legalisation and return the completed pack — collected, couriered, or sent direct to the overseas party.

Common questions, answered straight.
What is a notary public, and what do they do?
A notary public is a specially qualified lawyer appointed to prepare and certify documents for use outside the UK. Notaries belong to the oldest branch of the legal profession, appointed through the Faculty Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury. A notary's signature, seal and certificate are recognised by authorities throughout the world — a plain witness signature is rarely accepted abroad.
How quickly can you turn documents around?
The practice operates a 24-hour service — enquiries by phone, WhatsApp or email are answered any time, and most personal documents can be notarised the same day. The FCDO apostille stage depends on the service ordered; the current published turnaround is confirmed when you book.
What should I bring?
Your valid passport (or national ID for non-UK nationals), proof of address dated in the last three months, the document to be signed if you already have it, and any supporting originals (e.g. the certificate you need copied). Company work needs the constitutional documents and proof of who is signing.
How long does a notarisation take?
Signing with me usually takes 15–30 minutes. The FCDO apostille stage depends on the service ordered; I give you the current published turnaround when you book.
