After a relatives death abroad Shujaat helped me to verify various documents required by the Spanish authorities. Dealing directly with the British Foreign and commonwealth office in london over the Christmas period and further complicated by COVID related inertia. The initial meeting was the day after I called. Clear and to the point, good communication and reasonably priced. I would certainly use them again

Efficient and helpful service. Were able to offer an appointment at short notice for getting a document notarised. Friendly and welcoming, accepts cards for payment, receipt immediately emailed and was careful to check wording complied with that required by the receiving organisation.
