Why do you need a notary public?
Alice, a notary public in Bournemouth, explains why you need a notary public.
You will need a notary public if you are involved in an international transaction and you are told you need to get a document notarised.
Most countries will not accept documents until they have been notarised by a notary public.
The requirement for notarisation by a notary public applies to a wide range of documents including powers of attorney, identity documents, company documents etc. For example, if you want to purchase or sell a property abroad, study abroad, work abroad, inherit foreign property or incorporate a company abroad, you may need a notary public.
What documents require a notary public?
Alice, a notary public in Bournemouth, provides some examples of documents which need to be notarised including:
- Purchasing a property in Spain - you may need to get a Spanish power of attorney notarised.
- Applying to university abroad - you may need your educational certificates notarised.
- If you are a doctor or nurse (or other healthcare professional) and want to work in Australia or New Zealand, you may need various documents (including identification and qualification documents) notarised.
- If you have a company and want to engage in international trade or incorporate a subsidiary company abroad, you may need to get a wide variety of documents notarised.
- If your child wants to travel abroad without both parents then you may need to get a travel consent notarised.
These are just some examples of why you will need a notary public.

A notary public is primarily concerned with the authentication and certification of signatures, authority and capacity relating to documents for use abroad. This is not a mere rubber-stamping exercise. The signature and seal of a notary public is recognised by the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office and also by various High Commissions and Embassies throughout the world.
Alice's notarised documents record of a matter of significance that is relied on by authorities and trading partners in foreign jurisdictions to facilitate international transactions.
Alice will confirm what documents she requires for your specific transaction.
As a minimum, Alice will need you to provide:
- The documents that need to be notarised.
- Any guidance / instructions you have received from the foreign jurisdiction about the documents that need to be notarised.
- At least 1 x photographic proof of identity such as a passport.
- At least 1 x proof of current residential address dated in the past 3 months.
If you are a company client then Alice will need you to provide documents relating to the company, its directors and its shareholders. Alice will be able to advise you further about this.

There are some circumstances when Alice can notarise documents remotely. This depends on what documents you need to get notarised and the requirements of the foreign country.
Recipients in some countries require verification of the notary public’s signature and seal. When this is required, ‘legalisation’ must be obtained before the document is accepted abroad.
For some countries, it is sufficient for an apostille to be affixed to the document.
An apostille is a certificate from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office on behalf of the UK Government which confirms that the notary public’s signature and seal is genuine.
For other countries, embassy/consular legalisation is also required which is when the recipient requires the notarial act to bear a legalisation stamp from the consular department of the diplomatic mission representing the country where the document is to be used.
In any event, Alice will be able to assist you with this process.
The cost of engaging a notary public very much depends on the document in question and what the notary public is being asked to do. Your notary public will usually be able to give you an indication on the cost involved for your transaction.
In order to do this, your notary public will often need to know:
- What service you require – for example: attesting signatures, certifying copy documents, obtaining legalisation etc.
- The type of document that needs to be notarised.
- Who is signing the document and, if the person is signing on behalf of a company, what authority do they have to do so?
- How many documents are there?
- Which country is the notarised document going to be sent to?
It is important to note that seeing a notary public is far more than a mere rubber-stamping exercise and the cost involved reflects the great care that a notary public takes at every stage of the process to minimise the risk of error, omissions, alterations, fraud, forgery, money laundering etc and also the fact that they notary public will, amongst other things, often need to liaise with your foreign lawyer or representative, advise on requirements for this country and draft a notarial certificate.
In all trades and professions, only about 1 in 20 is worth their salt. Always a pleasure to work with a true professional, especially concerning messy international legalities. Consistently quick and clear, I would recommend Alice without hesitation. Thank you.
