Ive used Notary.Co.Uk a couple of times now to get documents attested and I really cannot fault their service. Speedy, friendly, reliable and easy - they really did take out the stress of getting my documents (over 10 altogether) attested whilst I was living abroad. I would, and have, thoroughly recommend this team.

We utilized the express service to get 14 separate documents notarized along with apostille stamps. The team are incredibly responsive. They communicate clearly over email, with very fast responses. As we were in the US during the process of notarizing our documents, the verification was done over zoom. We needed to move the zoom meeting at the last minute due to some travel problems, and the team were quick to reschedule without any issues. Ultimately the service is exactly as advertised. Go ahead and reach out to them for your notary needs - they're good, professional, and speedy people!

What a fantastic experience with the team in Grosvenor Place. I had some urgent work required during the holiday period. The team was professional and responsive to understand the urgency of the matter and went beyond the original remit under tight timelines. Well done Hasib and team.

We used Notary.co.uk on 2 occasions in the past month. Pleased with the speed in which they were able to meet with us and their flexibility. As well as witnessing signatures some documents had to be sent to the Foreign office and the Embassy. This was all carried out in a timely manner. Communication throughout has been good

I have been anxious over getting documents Notarised and from the online chat, to the speedy appointment booking and the friendly staff they made my experience a lot less stressful! They were so helpful that they printed my document too and they offer courier services which ends up being cheaper! Thank you for your friendly, professional and efficient services! I highly recommend!
Ps: i was hesitant with all the good reviews, but honestly it was 1 of my best experiences in London and i can see why they have the reviews they do!
