Our Notary public services

Our notaries in Kent have a wide range of expertise with regards to notary public services, supporting individuals and businesses, as well as advising on ID checks and certifying documents for use within the UK.

Notary public services for businesses

While there is no denying that entering into business arrangements outside of the UK can be a complicated and often difficult process, it certainly isn’t impossible. When submitting the relevant legal documentation, you’ll need to ensure that is has been properly certified as authentic. To do this, you will require the assistance and guidance of a Notary.

At Hatten Wyatt Notaries, we understand how important it is to get these documents verified as quickly and reliably as possible, especially as this can make all the difference when it comes to whether an arrangement is ultimately successful. Our Notaries are highly experienced and will be able to work swiftly to ensure all documents are ready for use when required.

Our Notaries in public can assist UK-based businesses with the verification of documents on matters related to:

• Applying to set up a company abroad

Notary public services for individuals

If you are completing personal business in a foreign country, there is no automatic guarantee that you will be able to rely on the same documents that would ordinarily be accepted in the UK. For that reason, it’s essential that you are aware of any potential issues with these documents and take the necessary steps to ensure they will be accepted.

Our Notaries in Kent can work alongside you to ensure that the necessary documents are authenticated and verified, either for matters in the UK or, more commonly, for matters abroad.

Where a document needs to be notarised for it to be accepted, we can work efficiently and to tight timescales to ensure that your documents are ready as and when you need them.

Our Notaries public in Kent can assist UK nationals with:

• Applications to live, work or study abroad
• Requests to marry or enter a civil partnership in another countries
• Applications to adopt a child from another country
• The sale or purchase of foreign property
• The administration of a deceased person’s estate where foreign property or other assets are involved
• The sale or purchase of foreign shares and investments
• The bringing or defending of legal proceedings in another country

Our team can also provide advice and assist with the same matters for foreign nationals who wish to verify documents related to living and working in the UK.

Notaries services – ID requirements

As you may already be aware, the ability to prove your identity and your right to live and work in the UK has never been more important. This is especially crucial, as many industries have become targets for illegal operations, meaning tighter measures have been put in place to reduce the possibility for this occurring as far as possible.

All of this means that Notaries are obligated to ask you to supply identification, which needs to be verified before we can complete any work. This applies to both business and personal matters.

Personal clients will be required to provide proof of both identity and address. Business clients will also be required to demonstrate this, as well as proof that the business exists and proof that you have the right to act as a representative of the business.

It’s important to note that each individual case will have its own unique circumstances. This means your Notary will advise you on the exact documents that will be required.
