Notary Public

A Notary Public is an internationally recognised legal professional, with the authority to authenticate and certify the documents required for use abroad.

​

A Notary Public is usually required when dealing with overseas matters. Their primary role is the preparation, validation, and certification of documents under an official seal. If you have dealings abroad, whether commercial or personal, then is it likely that you will need the services of a Notary Public.

​

We can provide services throughout the Midlands and Yorkshire. Appointments can be held at the offices of Trent Law (Solicitors) in Nottingham, Derby or Sheffield, or by prior arrangement at your office.

​

Some countries will accept a Notary’s certificate alone, while others will require a further international certificate called an ‘Apostille’, which is issued by the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office under the Hague Convention and is sometimes referred to as a ‘Hague Apostille’. Some countries will require further legalisation at their embassy or consulate.
