Notary services for business

Content

Businesses engaged in international trade and individuals working or living abroad all have to deal with foreign authorities on a regular basis.  Our team of notaries can help you cut through the red tape.

How we can help you

A notary public is a specialist, independent lawyer who prepares and ‘authenticates’ documents for use in foreign countries, helping you avoid the need to travel abroad to deal with paperwork.

Following the notarisation of a document, it may have to be ‘legalised’ so that authorities in the country in which it is being used can satisfy themselves that the notary’s signature is genuine. Our notaries can deal with all your legalisation requirements, with different options available depending on the urgency of the matter.
