• Before the appointment with a notary public you will receive a confirmation email with T&C, Data Protection Privacy Notice, Complaints Policy, Consumer Rights and other relevant information; the appointment will take 10-30 min depending on the type of document notarised; you can normally get an appointment within 3 working days; you will normally be asked to email the notary public the document you wish to notarise before the appointment;

• If you instruct a notary public to arrange the apostille, you should receive the apostilled document within one week from the appointment;

• Consular legalisation may take between 5 to 20 working days

Some jurisdictions require an apostille in addition to the document being authenticated by a notary public. The apostille is a certificate confirming a signature and seal of the notary public.

Some countries may also require a consular legalisation of the notarised document. Typically, the notarised document would get the apostille first and then be submitted to an embassy of the country where it will be used. Notary Public may arrange for you the apostille and consular legalisation.

I aim to provide clear and transparent pricing for notarial services in Nottingham and throughout the surrounding areas. The fees below relate to standard notarial work and do not include legalisation, apostille fees or other third-party disbursements unless specifically stated.
