Our fees are dependent on the nature, complexity, language, and number of the document(s) to be notarised, and if any further services are requested. Further services include but are not limited to out of office attendance by a notary, translation and interpretation, legalisation at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and consulates and embassies, delivery, drafting and engrossment.
