Testimonials
Bryn was so efficient at notarising my documents. He communicated the whole process very well. Highly recommend
Bryn provided professional flexible service and accommodated me and my partner at the last minute. He gave excellent advice and was very knowledgeable about the processes we are going through to apply for jobs in Australia. We wouldn’t hesitate to use his services in the future.
If you require a document notarised for either business or personal needs, Bryn is a highly reliable and professional person to turn to. Getting documents notarised can be a stressful bit of bureaucracy but Bryn will personally help to ensure that your documents meet the requirements needed. I highly recommend Bryn over any online ‘e-notary’ service because Bryn will personally ensure that your documents are right. I would not take a chance with any ‘e-notary’ service. Bryn prepared documents for me to send to the US Embassy in London and he was exceptionally supportive and flexible in helping me complete what was necessary.
I can not express how simply wonderful Bryn was for me and my situation. Bryn was 100% accommodating of the immediate nature of my requirements. Bryn was professional in approach and completely thorough. He saved me much time, hassle and relieved me of any concern. I trust completely in Bryn’s knowledge and ability as an exceptional notary. Thank you Bryn.
What is a Notary Public?
A Notary is a qualified lawyer – a member of the third and oldest branch of the legal profession in the United Kingdom. We are appointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury and are subject to regulation by the Court of Faculties. The rules which affect Notaries are very similar to the rules which affect Solicitors. We must be fully insured and maintain fidelity cover for the protection of our clients and the public. We must keep clients’ money separately from our own and comply with stringent practice rules and rules relating to conduct and discipline. Notaries have to renew their practising certificates every year and can only do so if we have complied with the rules.
How much will it cost?
How much will it cost?
This depends on the nature and quantity of the documents with a minimum charge of £85. Multiple documents and more complex documents will be charged on a time basis calculated at a charge-out rate of £305 per hour. This will include initial instructions, drafting notarial certificates, attending you (including travelling and waiting time where necessary), dealing with legalisation, and making up the records I am required to keep. Legalisation fees and disbursements will be charged at cost. I will give you an estimate of my costs based on the information you give me. For this reason I will always ask you to send me copies of the documents you need to notarise together with any instructions. I accept payment by cash, bank transfer (provided it is made before we meet) or cards up to a limit of £150.
When is an Apostille needed?
When is an Apostille needed?
Usually the lawyers in the foreign jurisdiction will specifically state that an Apostille is needed. Sometimes they simply assume that one will be affixed and do not mention it specifically. Commercial documents very often need Apostilles and Powers of Attorney almost always. If in doubt, it is better to have an Apostille affixed than not.
Which towns and areas do I cover?
Ceredigion, Powys, Carmarthenshire, north Pembrokeshire south Gwynedd, Aberystwyth, Machynlleth, Dolgellau, Lampeter, Cardigan and throughout south, mid and west Wales.
I am regulated through the faculty office of the Archbishop of Canterbury
