What does a Notary Public do?

A Notary Public is a specialist lawyer who can witness or certify documents for use in foreign countries. By virtue of the Notaries signature and official seal, authorities in other countries will be assured that the relevant checks have been carried out.

As an example, when buying a property abroad you may need to give your overseas lawyer power to deal with the purchase. A Notary Public can watch you sign a Power of Attorney and then notarise this document to ensure that it is accepted in the country involved.

What is Apostille or Legalisation?

A notarised document may often need to be further authenticated by having the U.K. Foreign and Commonwealth Office confirm the validity of the notary's signature and seal. The requirement for this will depend on the foreign country involved. This is done by legalisation by the use of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's official certificate attached to the document, known as an apostille. These are internationally recognised due to the Hague Convention.

Notarisation of Qualifications

A Notary Public in England can notarise qualifications. This process involves the notary certifying that a copy of an educational qualification, such as a degree certificate, diploma, or transcript, is a true and accurate copy of the original document.
Here’s how it typically works:

  1. Verification: The notary will check the original qualification to ensure its authenticity. They may also need to verify your identity to confirm that the qualification belongs to you.
  2. Certification: Once verified, the notary will make a copy of the original document (or verify that a provided copy matches the original) and then notarise it by adding their official seal and signature. This certification confirms that the copy is a true representation of the original.
  3. Legalisation (if needed): If the notarised qualification is to be used abroad, it may also need to be legalised, which could involve obtaining an Apostille from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) or further consular legalisation depending on the destination country.

Notarising qualifications is particularly important for individuals applying for jobs, further education, or professional registration in foreign countries, where the authenticity of their credentials needs to be established.
