A notarial certification is amongst the highest level of certification you can receive from a lawyer or public official. This is in part due to the additional training and expertise required of notaries. When a notarised document is received abroad, it can provide greater reassurance to the recipient that the correct authentication has been carried out.
For most transactions concerning the UK only, a notarial certification is not required and a solicitor or commissioner for oaths certification will be fine instead. We can provide commissioner for oaths certifications in certain circumstances on request.
What is a Notary?
Just in case you weren’t sure, a notary is a legally appointed official who is authorised to perform certain legal formalities. Their primary role is to verify the authenticity of documents and signatures.
