What are UK Notary Services – Something More Than Verify and Certify Documents
Author : Apostille Legalisation Services | Published On : 19 Nov 2025
UK Notary Services are provided by a Notary (also known as a Notary Public) – different to a solicitor. Notaries are appointed by the Court of Faculties of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and their role is to verify legal documents. Notaries do not provide a signature guarantee in the same way as a Medallion Guarantee but many documents do need to be signed in the presence of a Notary including but not limited to a Power of Attorney.
- Notary services in the UK play a crucial role in verifying and certifying documents for use both at home and abroad.
- A UK notary public ensures that signatures, copies, and legal papers are genuine and correctly executed, helping to prevent fraud and misunderstandings in international dealings.
- Whether for property transactions, powers of attorney, or business contracts, notarial services provide the legal assurance needed to make documents valid and trusted across borders.
Document Notarisation
A Notary Public attaches a Notary certificate to notarise a document. This is bound and sealed with ribbon to confirm the document has been Notarised.
If not attending the Notary office due to any reason, the document must be sent by post to notarise a document. Certain documents (Companies House Documents) need not to be sent. This can drastically speed up the processing time.
Sign a Notary
If you are required to sign the document you need Notarised then the document must be signed in the presence of the Notary. Experts who are offering UK Notary Services will guide you for Notary signing. If you do need a signature, you must bring photographic identification documentation as well as two forms of proof of address that must be dated within the last three months.
