Do you need notarial services for businesses or individuals. Are you planning to buy property abroad, moving abroad to work, appointing a foreign attorney to act for you, getting married abroad, instructing a foreign lawyer, forming a foreign company or business, adopting from abroad, giving parental consent for a child to travel alone.
Many people travel abroad to work, to buy property or even to get married. If you have to sign documents for use abroad you will almost certainly need to do it in front of a notary. You may have to produce copies of birth or marriage certificates, or your educational qualifications. The notary will prepare the necessary documents certifying copies of the original documents.
The notary will be certifying to the foreign country that documents are true copies of originals and are genuine. He will be certifying that you are who you claim to be. This is a very important function in an age where there is so much concern over identity theft and impersonation. You must therefore give the notary time to verify original documents and the check your identity.
Are you planning to do business abroad. If so you will often find that there is a lot of formality involved. Opening a bank account or registering a new company as a foreign subsidiary or trading vehicle will almost certainly involve a local lawyer and you will often have to appoint a local attorney. Banks and lawyers will want you to produce evidence of the identity of directors, copies of the Certificate of incorporation and the Memorandum and Articles of the Company Prove that the directors are properly appointed, Resolutions of the board approving the commercial or financial transaction, e.g. to open a bank account or appoint an Attorney. This will require an investigation of the existence of your company and obtaining various documents from you so that the necessary notarial documentation can be produced
Often you will be given documents by your foreign contacts to be "notarised". Often these are written in very poor English and need to be redrafted to make sense in English. Some countries may require a document to be produced in both English and the foreign language. It may be necessary to check the drafting of documents with your foreign lawyer, notary or bank.
Some documents will also require what is called Legalisation. This means obtaining a certificate (called an Apostille) from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (the FCO) once the document has been notarised. The turn round for this is usually 3 to 4 days. Commonwealth countries and former British colonies and Dependant territories tend not to require documents to be legalised; European countries do. The position in the US varies according to which state governs the document. In the case of some countries in the middle east, you will have to have the document legalised by the country’s Consulate or Chamber of Trade in London. This can take several days and can involve high fees.
Well if you have just conducted a search engine query for some of these terms then hopefully I have managed to grab your attention for just a few seconds. Why did I do that? To warn you about a rouge Law Firm operating in East Anglia. That firm is Norton Peskett Solicitors. There is only one Notary Public at Norton Peskett, his name is Julian Robert Gibbons. He also operates under the trade name of "Norfolk Notary". But make no mistake about it, "Norfolk Notary" is just a façade that Norton Peskett hides behind. Compare the street address of "Norfolk Notary" and of Norton Peskett's Great Yarmouth office. Do you notice the similarity? The FAX number of "Norfolk Notary" and Norton Peskett's Great Yarmouth Office are identical also.
Norton Peskett has a deplorable reputation. Indeed, a solicitor previously employed by Norton Peskett, Christopher John Savage, was struck off as a solicitor and imprisoned. What did he do to cause that you may wonder: He was caught embezzling money belonging to several clients. In an unrelated crime, this same solicitor was struck off the register of solicitors for forging client signatures on mortgage documents. Now, the function of a Notary Public is to authenticate documents, not to forge them. Do you really want your documents authenticated by an organisation known for forgery?
Finding a good Notary Public, or indeed a full service law firm, one that is competent, and puts the best interests of their clients first, is important. But it is equally, if not more, important to avoid a bad law firm. A bad law firm could make your problems much worse. A bad firm that cares only about their own profits, that sees it's clients only as a source of revenue, could do great damage to yourself, damage with far reaching consequences that will continue to hurt you for years to come.
