Online Notarisation Service
What is Online Notarisation?
Online notarisation is a legally accepted method of having your documents notarised through a secure, real-time video call with a certified notary public. It eliminates the need for physical presence, making the notarisation process more accessible, especially for clients who are overseas or unable to travel.
This modern solution is ideal for notarising a wide range of personal and business documents. Your documents are reviewed and verified in a live session, digitally signed, and then returned to you securely with a digital notarial certificate that is legally binding in the UK and recognised internationally.
