What is a Notary Public?

A Notary, or Notary Public, can authenticate or legalise any document. A Notary can also provide legalisation or an apostille, if needed. You will normally require the services of a Notary Public when you have documents that are needed to be used abroad. The Notary's signature and seal will verify to the authorities in that country that the relevant checks have been carried out. The need for a Notary public is dictated by the requirements of the country where the document is to be used. For example, if you wish to buy a property abroad, it is often necessary to give your overseas lawyer power to deal with the purchase. This can be done by means of a power of attorney, which is signed by you in front of a Notary. The Notary public will confirm your name and identity and sign the document and seal it with their official seal. Often, an apostille is needed to verify the signature and seal of the Notary.

What does a Notary Public actually do?

A Notary Public must always check the identity of the signatory as well as his or her capacity and intention. This will involve the checking of certain documents such as a passport and separate proof of address. They may witness the signature of the person involved and/or ensure that the document is signed in accordance with English Law.

Legalisation of documents / Apostille

Many jurisdictions require a document, after it has been notarised, to be legalised with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) with the affixing of an apostille, and for those countries who are signatories to the Hague Convention of 1961, that is all that will be required by the receiving jurisdiction. Different countries have different requirements, and some countries will go further and after the legalisation with the apostille; they will also require what is known as Consular legalisation.
