In other countries, the document will require the Notary's signature and seal to be legalised. Legalisation is the process where the Notary's identity is verified by a certificate being affixed known as an Apostille. In the UK, the Foreign & Commonwealth Office fulfils this role. You can make your own arrangements by attending the public counter at the Legalisation Office in Milton Keynes. Alternatively you can instruct me to assist you.

You will often require the services of a Notary Public when you have documents which are needed to be used abroad. The Notary's signature and seal will verify to the authorities in that country that any relevant checks have been carried out and that the document has been properly signed. Notaries form a small, highly specialised branch of the legal profession, whose area of specialisation is the preparation and certification of documents so that they may be used effectively abroad.
