A Notary is a person, licensed to perform certain legal duties, in particular witnessing
signatures on documents. A Notary prepares, witnesses or certifies documents required
to be used by the client abroad.
Documents that are typically notarised include powers of attorney, sworn statements,
contracts, deeds, property papers and certificates, such as degree qualifications.
Notaries are commonly used by individual clients, as well as companies.
Notaries are regulated by the Court of Faculties, one of the oldest courts in England.
Notaries practice under the authority of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
