Welcome to South East Notary Services

I provide a full range of notarial services for both private individuals and businesses.

I mainly support clients in the South East of England including London, Kent and East Sussex and particularly the Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Crowborough, Heathfield and surrounding areas.

I am able to notarise documents signed in England for use abroad.

I understand you may often require a document to be notarised urgently and I can arrange an appointment at short notice.

My service is fast, reliable and efficient. I am used to working to tight deadlines.

I can visit you at your home or office if required.

Where needed I can arrange legalisation by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office to obtain an Apostille and if necessary embassy or consular verification.

For Individuals

Home and Office Appointments

I can visit you at your home or office although an additional charge may apply.

Legalisation Services

When a document is notarised in the United Kingdom for use in another country, a further formality known as 'legalisation', 'consularisation' or obtaining an 'Apostille' may be required. Legalisation is the process by which my signature and seal are authenticated by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office and sometimes the Embassy or Consulate in the UK of the country where the document is to be used.

Charges

I work on a time basis.

It is helpful if you can mail me a copy of the documentation to be notarised and any specific instructions you have received in advance of our meeting.

Fixed fees

Wherever possible I give a fixed price. This is not always possible due to the variable nature of what is needed.

Estimate

If it is not possible to provide you with a fixed fee then I can provide you with my best estimate of the likely charges.

Third party costs

In addition to my fees you are responsible for reimbursing any expenses, charges and fees I pay to others on your behalf. These include, for example, legalisation charges to the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, Embassies and Consulates.

If you would like documents to be sent by courier or special, recorded or other guaranteed delivery then I can arrange this and invoice you for the costs incurred.

VAT

I am not registered for VAT.

Payment

debit or credit card
cheque
cash

APPOINTMENTS

You will need to attend in person where documentation is to be signed in my presence.

Please telephone or email me to arrange an appointment.

IDENTIFICATION

Private clients

As a notary I am required to satisfy myself as to the identity of clients. Please ensure you bring to the appointment:

1 original document with your photo proving your identity (such as your current passport or photo driving licence); and
1 original document showing your current address which is less than three months old (such as a utility bill or bank statement) .

Business clients

In addition to the above, for each individual signatory I will also need to identify the company and the authority given to the signatory to sign the specific documentation (such as a board resolution).

DOCUMENTATION

To enable me to advise you correctly and ensure any relevant procedures are followed it is helpful if you can email me a copy of the documentation and any specific instructions you have received before we meet.
