WHAT IS A NOTARY PUBLIC?
A Notary is a specialist lawyer who authenticates and certifies documents for use internationally. You may need one if you are dealing with legal matters overseas such as buying a property, studying abroad, expanding your business or getting married somewhere sunny. A Notary will ensure that any required documentation is acceptable to the relevant foreign authority and attach their own official seal and signature. All notaries are regulated by the Faculty Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury. For more information on the process and the history, see the 'What to Expect' and 'FAQs' sections below.
