seeing a notary public

If your document is straightforward, the Notary will probably need to see you for between thirty minutes and one hour. Complex matters will take longer, particularly if the Notary needs to draw up the document from scratch.

Many countries want documents to be countersigned by their London embassies (a process known as ‘legalisation’). This can take several days, unless you choose to go to the embassy yourself. Fees and procedures vary widely, but the Notary will be able to give you a reasonably accurate idea of the time and cost. If you might need the services of a Notary, then contact Christopher Clarke or Ted Hallam
