Many countries around the world, especially those outside the Commonwealth, will require confirmation that our Notaries are duly authorized in England and Wales to act as Notary Public. This is done by a process known as legalization.

​

For most countries, this is done by me sending the completed document to the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office where an additional certificate is added to it together with the seal of the FCO which confirms my signature and seal as being genuine. This certificate is known as an “Apostille”.

We can arrange for legalisation of documents but you should be aware that there are additional costs involved in this process and it may take some time.
