Fingerprint documents typically include records of an individual’s fingerprints, often used for identification, background checks, or security purposes. These documents are generated and maintained by authorised agencies, law enforcement, or fingerprinting services.

Notarisation of fingerprint documents might be required in specific scenarios:

1. Immigration Applications: When applying for a visa or residence permit in the UK or other countries, authorities may request notarised fingerprint documents to verify your identity.
2. Legal Proceedings: In legal cases, such as criminal investigations or immigration hearings, notarised fingerprint documents can serve as authenticated evidence.
3. Background Checks: Employers or licensing authorities may require notarised fingerprint records as part of background checks for certain professions or positions.
4. International Use: If you intend to use your fingerprint documents abroad, especially in countries where notarisation is a common practice, having them notarised can ensure their recognition and acceptance.
5. Security Clearances: Some government agencies and organisations may request notarised fingerprint documents to grant security clearances.

The notarisation process for fingerprint documents typically involves the following steps:

1. Contact a Notary Public: Call our office to book an appointment with one of our Notaries.
2. Attend our office with your passport and a recent proof of address (dated within 3 months);
3. You will affix your fingerprint and thumbprint impressions on the document in the presence of the document;
