Price and Service Information
Typically the fee to notarise a single document will be £150 plus VAT, representing the time taken to discuss the instruction with you, check identity and appointment, sign and seal the document and record it in my register.
There may be disbursements such as the Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office fee of £40 to put an Apostille on the document if needed ("legalisation"), fees charged by foreign Embassies and courier fees if required. I will also charge my time incurred in arranging this process for you. I use an experienced agent with offices close to the FCDO to obtain the Apostille; they provide a next day service.
I will discuss total fees with you ahead of our appointment so that you will always know what you need to pay, when and why, and there are no surprises.
The normal timescale for the Apostille process is 3 business days.
VAT is charged at the prevailing rate, currently 20%.
My fee is payable when we meet unless other arrangements have been agreed between us beforehand.
For clients who instruct me regularly I can agree beneficial charging rates and payment arrangements, reflecting the volume of instructions received.
Figures correct as at October 2026.
Peace of Mind
An efficient one stop service to take all your notarial/legalisation worries away. Peace of mind from a professional.
A service delivered to you when and where you need it and with total transparency of pricing so that before we meet you know what you need to do, what I will do, and how much it will cost and likely timing.
I understand that this whole process can be strange and therefore daunting. I will take that concern away.
