When carrying out personal business in a foreign country, there is no guarantee that the documents you would normally be able to rely on at home will be accepted. It is therefore important to make sure whether there is likely to be an issue with your documents and take steps to ensure they will be accepted where required.
The purpose of a Notary is to provide authentication and verification of documentation. This can be for matters within the UK, but is most commonly for matters abroad. You may for example, need a Notary if you wish to live or work abroad, buy a foreign property, prove a marriage or a divorce is legal, or show your role as an appointed power of attorney.
When documents need to be notarised, there are often tight timescales to consider. Our team understand this and will work quickly and efficiently to ensure your documents are ready when you need them.
We have two highly experienced notaries within our team, Jasvinder Gill and Karen du Rocher. Operating through Hatten Wyatt Notaries LLP, they can provide notarial services to support UK and foreign nationals in a range of situations.
