What are Notarial Services?
A Notary Public is a legal professional who holds an internationally recognised qualification. In providing notarial services, a Notary will authenticate and certify personal or business documents in England so that they can be relied on anywhere outside England and Wales. A Notary Public confirms, for example, that a document has been validly signed and that the signatories are duly authorised and identified. A Notary may also be required to confirm the facts stated in a document or to certify a true copy.
It is sometimes necessary to have the signature and seal of the Notary confirmed by an independent body - this process is called legalisation.
A notary public in England must satisfy the academic and practising requirements of an independent professional regulatory body (The Faculty Office) and hold adequate professional indemnity insurance.
