Key Stages

Each notarial matter will be different but here some typical key stages:-

• Obtaining and checking the documents to be notarised together with any instructions you may have received regarding their notarisation.

• Obtaining the necessary documentation from relevant agencies to deal with the document (e.g. obtaining information from HEDD, Companies House etc).

• Drafting, translating or advising on the document as appropriate.

• ​Satisfying myself as to the identity, capacity and authority of the person who is to sign the document by personal attendance and identification of the signatory by means of photo ID and proof of address.

• ​If a document is to be certified, checking with the issuing authorities that the document/award is genuine.

• Drafting and affixing or endorsing a notarial certificate to the document.

• ​Arranging for the legalisation of the document as appropriate.
