Before We Meet

The more information you can send me in advance, the quicker I can deal with your document for you.

It will help me if I can see a draft of the document you need notarising, together with the contact details of the person overseas who has advised you that you need to see a Notary.

I may also need to arrange for your document to be translated before I can notarise it. If you send me your document in advance, I can advise you further about this before we meet.

Here’s a checklist of the things you can do in advance to help things go smoothly:

Tell me, briefly, what the transaction or matter is all about, and why you have been told that you need to see a Notary

Send me the draft document(s) – ideally in electronic format by email to mark@notarynottingham.co.uk so that I can make changes if they are required

Tell me what country your document is to go to, so that I can consider any Apostille or Legalisation requirements

Give me the contact details for the person abroad who has advised you that your document needs to be notarised.

If you have had any instructions from the lawyer or other professional who drafted the document, please send those as well. It will save time if I can check with him or her in advance whether the country in which the document is to be used has any particular rules about signing, ink colour etc

If you are a business, please tell me the business status of the person I will meet

Please check the draft document carefully for errors. Watch out especially for spelling mistakes in your name and address, or in your passport number.
