Notary
Garner & Hancock Notary Services
If you need a document for use overseas, you will usually need a notary. Our notary, Vinay Tanna, is a Solicitor of the Senior Courts of England and Wales and a member of the Notaries Society. He is regulated by the Faculty Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury and his commission is for life.
A notary checks your documents, your identity, your capacity and your authority to sign, then certifies the document so foreign authorities can rely on it.
Built around you
We can arrange translations and offer home, office and out-of-hours visits. Appointments are available at our Isleworth and Hampton offices, and by appointment in Stanmore and Elstree.
What we do
Request a quote from our Notary Public
We can give you a fast quote on Notarising and Apostille of your document.
Fees
Send us your documents, and we will quote straight away. Notarial fees start at £50.
Most matters are charged per document at a fixed fee, agreed before we start. Where we draft documents or substantially amend them, we charge for time at £350 per hour.
No VAT is charged on our notarial fees.
The fee we quote is the fee you pay. If the work changes, for example, extra documents or new embassy requirements, we will tell you before any further cost is incurred.
Insurance, regulation and complaints
We hold professional indemnity insurance of at least £1 million per claim with Tokio Marine HCC, with worldwide cover. Our notarial practice is separate from the solicitors’ practice and is regulated through the Faculty Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
If you are unhappy with our service, please tell us first. You may then complain to the Notaries Society, the Faculty Office, or the Legal Ombudsman. Full details are in our Terms of Business.
Visiting a Notary and Terms of Business
You are welcome to visit our offices in Isleworth or Central London. We can even come to you.
