What Does a Notary Public Do?
A notary public is a qualified lawyer authorised to authenticate legal documents for use in a foreign country. Notaries Public hold international recognition, and when a Notary's signature appears on a notarial certificate, it is accepted by third parties worldwide. A notary is distinct from a Commissioner for Oaths, though many notaries can also act in that capacity.
The notarial profession in England and Wales is regulated by the Master of the Faculties, a legal officer operating under the Archbishop of Canterbury. We handle Data Protection matters with care, ensuring all personal information is managed in accordance with our Terms of Business.
Our job is to confirm that you are a legitimate person or company, that you are willing, able, and authorised to sign, and that documents are executed in the prescribed manner. If you are unsure who can certify a document, we can advise.

Our Notary Public Services
As a full-service notarial practice established in 2004, we provide notarial services for both private individual matters and commercial work. We handle identification documents, certified copy documents, powers of attorney, company authentication, and director verification for company directors dealing with Companies House requirements.
Need a mobile notary service in London? We can come to you. Some matters may even be handled online or entirely remotely through our e-notarisation service with Advanced Electronic Signatures and Qualified Electronic Signatures.
Whether you need us at your office, home, or prefer to visit our central London office, we are flexible.
Apostille Services
If your notarised documents need additional verification for use overseas, you will likely need an Apostille. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCDO) is the competent authority to issue Apostilles in the United Kingdom under the Hague Convention. An Apostille confirms the authenticity of the notary's signature and seal, making your documents acceptable in any Hague Convention member country. We also offer e-Apostille services for electronic documents. For countries that are not members of the Hague Convention, consular legalisation through the relevant embassy may be required instead. We handle the entire process from our central London office on Wigmore Street and can often accommodate urgent matters at short notice. For apostille services, we offer next-day turnaround through the FCDO.
Company Director Identity Verification
The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 makes it mandatory for UK company directors, LLP members, and PSCs to verify their identity with Companies House.
As an authorised identity verification provider, we can verify your identity quickly at our central London office or via our mobile notary service. This is essential for new incorporations, existing company directors, and anyone with significant control. If your Companies House verification has failed, we can help resolve the issue.
Contact us to arrange your Companies House identity verification appointment.
