We started out in Mitcham, London when in 1983 as the sole practice of Basil Preuveneers. At the time the notarial profession was dominated by a small number of scrivener notaries who held a monopoly to practice within three miles of the City of London. In 1999 that monopoly ended and in 2004 Basil registered a company and moved to Victoria in central London.
Since the move, the firm has grown from strength to strength. In 2016 Hasib Heron became partner and the firm has continued to thrive, becoming one of the leading notary firms in the UK. Our notaries are all qualified solicitors and bring a wealth of experience and professionalism to our services. Underpinned with our knowledgeable and friendly support team, we are better placed than ever to help clients both in the UK and internationally.
Our mission is to simplify the notarial and legalisation process. We embrace technology and innovative thinking to deliver cost-effective, flexible, and fast notary solutions. Our location in Victoria is strategically close to the FCDO and most consulates, allowing us to offer unrivalled speed and efficiency in apostilling and legalising documents.
Today we are leading provider of notary, apostille, consular legalisation and translation services. We have a diverse client list including FTSE100 and multinational companies, exciting start-ups and high net worth individuals. All our clients trust us, and we go that extra mile to deliver for them. No job is too big or small, so get in touch today to start working with us.

Our reviews
What can I possibly say?! I truly wish that I could give this business 10 stars! The team is extremely well-organized, polite, forthcoming and professional. All email correspondence: super quick, informative and helpful. Processes, fees etc. are always explained in great detail and with utmost transparency to avoid any nasty surprises. I wish all businesses operated with such efficiency and integrity. Thank you ever so much.

First interaction with the company on the phone was great. The lady at reception was very friendly and promptly sent me the details I needed via email. Everything was clear.
Proceeded with the service. Also had a small issue with delivery which was handled very well by a member of the team. Customer service is definitely a 5 star. Would definitely recommend this company.

I’ve used Notary.co.uk a couple of times now to get documents attested and I really cannot fault their service. Speedy, friendly, reliable and easy – they really did take out the stress of getting my documents (over 10 altogether) attested whilst I was living abroad. I would, and have, thoroughly recommend this team.

The office runs like a clockwork thanks to Mr Hasib Heron’s excellent leadership and Mr Nik Serafimov’s personalised service. Over the last three years several friends and members of my family, including myself, have received outstanding service. I thoroughly recommend it, especially to those with complex cases involving the Home Office and the Foreign Office.

Having received a super quick turn around for an apostille service and certification, I came to Notary.co.uk with apprehension, which was soon lifted by Hasib and the team. Polite, Professional, Perfect. Where at times speed may impend on quality, this is simply not the case here. Highly recommended.

I have been anxious over getting documents Notarised and from the online chat, to the speedy appointment booking and the friendly staff they made my experience a lot less stressful! They were so helpful that they printed my document too and they offer courier services which ends up being cheaper!
Thank you for your friendly, professional and efficient services!
I highly recommend!
Ps: I was hesitant with all the good reviews, but honestly it was one of my best experiences in London and I can see why they have the reviews they do!
