What is Notarisation?

Where a document from a private company or individual needs authenticating, so it can be used in a legal setting (normally abroad). You can not do this by post, you have to physically meet with the Notary Public. Find a notary public local to you.

It is authenticated by a Notary Public, who will stamp and sign them. This is then seen as legally acceptable in courts/Government departments/etc..

Documents normally notarised/authenticated:

  • Overseas Powers of Attorney/Wills
  • Buying property/land abroad
  • University degrees
  • Bank statements for visas

What is an Affidavit?

A solicitor offers an 'Affidavit', which is swearing in front of the Solicitor that the documents are a true representation to the best of your knowledge.

Cost per 'Affidavit'/swearing and is about £5 is normally done by a Paralegal (completed a Law degree/conversion course but not Articles).

In Legal terms this is below getting the document notarised by a Notary Public. With an Affidavit the document is not authenticated by the Solicitor.

Do you have a document issued by a Public body that you need legalised?

Then you need an Apostille, as these only cover Public documents. In theory you could get a Notary Public to authenticate them but an Apostille is much cheaper and quicker and can be done by post.
