Notary Public Signed documents – Express Apostille service

Description

A Notary Public Signed document is any document that has been officially verified and signed (and stamped/sealed) by a Notary Public - a person authorised by the state to witness signatures, confirm identities, and administer oaths.

What it means in practice

When a document is notarised, the notary’s role is to:

  1. Verify identity of the person signing (usually by checking a passport or ID).

  2. Witness the signing - or, in some cases, confirm that the signature was made previously but genuinely by that person.

  3. Add a notarial certificate - a statement explaining what the notary did (e.g., “Signed before me on this date”).

  4. Apply their official seal/stamp and signature.

Examples of Notary Public Signed documents

  • Power of Attorney

  • Affidavits and statutory declarations

  • Consent letters for children travelling abroad

  • Property sale documents

  • Certified copies of passports or academic certificates

Why it matters

A Notary Public signed document carries legal weight both domestically and internationally because it proves:

  • The signature is authentic

  • The person had the authority to sign

  • The date of signing is recorded

  • The notary followed legal procedures

When the solicitor or notary public signs the document, they must:

  • Have a valid practising certificate
  • SIgn the document in the UK
  • Use their personal signature, not a company signature
  • Print their name and company address
  • Include their seal (if applicable), if an embossed seal is used, the embossment must go through the document and be present on both sides of the page.
  • Include the date of certification
  • State the action they have taken eg witnessed, certified a copy, confirmed as original
