I have heard the term ‘legalisation’ and ‘Apostille’ used in connection to Notaries. What do these mean?
The UK is a signatory to the Hague Convention. Co-signee countries determine their own rules around the documentation their own Foreign Office(s) and or Consulates require.
When a Notary seals and signs a document for you, some countries will authenticate your notarised paperwork. This is called Legalisation.
Other countries require a certified document from the Foreign Office. This is called an Apostille.
I can let you know whether this is required.
We offer a standard Apostille service with a timeline of 10 working days or a premium service for urgent matters usually with a timeline of 24 to 36 hours.

What identification does a Notary Public require?
Following the implementation of the Money Laundering Regulations 2017, notaries are now obliged to keep sufficient evidence on their files of the identity and the address of all their clients before they undertake any work.
Each person whose signature they are to certify must provide one of the following original identification documents at the time of the appointment.
- Passport
- Driving licence (with photo card)
- National identity card (EEA state members)
- An armed forces pass (with photo and signature)
- Firearms licence (with photo and signature)
- Other government issue ID (with photo and signature)
- Residence permit
- Benefit book or original notification letter from Benefits Agency
In addition, they require proof of residence, which can be one of the following original documents:
- Bank statement or letter from bank
- Utility bill or council tax bill (not mobile phone bill)
- Tenancy agreement or Housing Association rent card
- Inland revenue tax demand or self assessment statement
When a Notary public is acting for a corporate client, evidence of the due incorporation of the company or entity is required. This can be one of the following documents:
- Extract from the company register
- Certificate of incorporation
- Latest report and audited accounts
- Up to date certified copy of partnership agreement
- Evidence of being regulated by a regulatory body such as the Law Society or FSA.
In addition to the above, each individual signatory will need to produce one of the identification documents mentioned above.

What does Notarisation cost?
- The minimum fee charged for dealing with a single document dependent on what it is and your requirements is normally £80.00 +VAT. The current hourly rate is £280.00 +VAT.
- Once I have seen your documents and confirmed your instructions, I will be able to give you an indication or estimate of the likely charges. I reserve the right to revise any estimations given where it would be significantly different from your initial instructions.
Extra fees will be payable if your document requires legalisation at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and/or a Foreign Embassy. There may also be agent’s fees or translator’s fees. Other payments may be required including travelling expenses. You will be advised on all charges and you will be responsible for them and payment will be made in advance of any such costs.
Our fee will depend on what we are required to do for you and will be based on factors such as urgency and the amount of time that is spent on a matter.
Please note that any documents posted by me are posted at your risk. We cannot accept liability for its loss or cost for a replacement document.
