Notary Public & Apostille Services

When dealing with overseas matters, it is often a requirement to have documents authenticated by a Notary Public. A notary’s role is to prepare, validate, and certify documents with an official seal, making them legally recognised abroad.

When Do You Need a Notary Public?

If you are involved in international transactions or personal matters abroad, a Notary Public may be required. Common examples include:

Powers of Attorney for use overseas.
Documents for use in foreign courts.
Business contracts or company documents.
Academic certificates for study abroad.
Travel consent for children.
Property transactions outside the UK.

Some countries accept a notary’s certificate alone. Others also require an Apostille — an international certificate issued by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office under the Hague Convention. Certain jurisdictions may also require further consular legalisation.

At Trent Notary, we can handle the entire process for you — from notarisation to Apostille to consular legalisation and onward couriering abroad.
