London Notary Public Office Opening Times - 9:00 - 18:00

Notary Public Matthew Pryke suggests that all London clients attending his Notary Public offices in central London should consider using neighbouring tube stations close to the Notary Public office such as Bond Street, Regent’s Park, Great Portland Street, Warren Street and Tottenham Court Road.  M D Pryke’s central London Notary Public offices are ideally located near to many popular and easily accessible London Tube Stations.

Qualified Notary Public Matthew Pryke commenting on the closure of Oxford Circus tube station explained, “Whilst Oxford Circus tube is closed we would suggest to clients to consider alternative ways of accessing our Notary Public offices in London’s West End. As always our central London Notary Public offices will be open for Notary Public clients during this time.  For further information we suggest that Notary Public clients view the Transport for London website www.thetube.com“.

Notary Public Legalisation Fees Tip 1:  Consider the cost versus time for a Notary Public practice to deal with the legalisation.  Whilst notarial clients can save fees by dealing with legalisation themselves it can be counter productive if significant time is required to deal with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (for Apostille) or London Consulate. Time is money!

Notary Public Legalisation Fees Tip 2:  Determine an appropriate deadline. A number of London’s Consulates and also the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (for apostilles) offer varying legalisation services which can significantly reduce legalisation fees if clients’ requirements are less pressing. For urgent notarial matters this legalisation option will not be possible.  However a good Notary Public practice should provide such options to you as a way of reducing notarisation and legalisation fees. 

Notary Public Legalisation Fees Tip 3:  Seek courier quotes in advance.  As courier fees charged by London Notary Public practices vary greatly it is always advisable to seek a full and detailed fee quote.  Whilst the fees charged by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (for apostilles) and London Consulates will be fixed the courier fees will vary based on the competitive pricing of the legalisation service offer by the Notary Public London.

Notary Public Legalisation Fees Tip 4:  Legalise a number of documents at the same time.  Legalisation courier fees are likely to be incurred each time a trip is made to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (for apostilles) or a London Consulate.  Therefore cost savings can be enjoyed by dealing with several documents at the same time.  This provides the usual economies of scale as part of the legalisation process.

Notary Public Legalisation Fees Tip 5:  Ensure the document can be legalised.  Often legalisation fees and time can be wasted by taking documents to be legalised either to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (for apostilles) or London Consulates when the documents have not been dealt with, for example, via notarisation, and are therefore rejected.  It is always advisable to seek the advice of a qualified and experienced London Notary Public practice to ensure that all legal and procedural steps have been taken prior to legalisation.

Notary Public Legalisation Tip 1 - Consider using a Notary Public practice to arrange for legalisation on your behalf. The legalisation process can often be time consuming and require attending counter services. Therefore consider using a Notary Public in London as a cost effective and time efficient solution.   

Notary Public Legalisation Tip 2 - When using a Notary Public practice, obtain a legalisation fee quote in advance.   For most legalisation matters the London Notary Public should be able to provide a clear fix fee quote in advance.  Before engaging a Notary Public for legalisation ensure that the fee and deadline for returning the legalised documents meets your requirements.

Notary Public Legalisation Tip 3 - Shop around for legalisation services.  As the fees charged by London notaries can vary greatly we would suggest comparing prices offered to legalised notarised documents.   Also check whether the Notaries practice charges VAT for obtaining the legalised documents, as not all do.

Notary Public Legalisation Tip 4 - Provide a clear indication to the Notary Public of the deadline for receipt of legalised documents. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (for Apostilles) and a number of London’s Consulates offer a variety of legalisation services which can cater to more immediate or less pressing legalisation requirements with varying legalisation fees. Therefore ensure you are not paying for a speedy, but costly, legalisation service if the timetable you are working towards does not necessitate such an approach.  

Notary Public Legalisation Tip 5 - Don’t be afraid to ask your Notary questions about the legalisation process.  Any professional and approachable London Notary Public should make themselves available to answer any questions and provide any further information in advance of obtaining the legalised documents.  Therefore if you have any questions either phone or email your Notary Public London in advance.

Commenting on the impending industrial action London Notary Public Matthew Pryke explained, “Notary clients are understandably concerned as to the potential impact that the Royal Mail industrial action may have on their deadlines to obtain Apostilles from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.  As a cautionary measure I am advising all of my notary clients to consider using alternative means in which to get documents legalised by utilising London Notary Public legalisation services such as the premium service, DX or using London notary practice couriers to legalise documents via the Foreign and Commonwealth offices “Public Counter”“.

Commenting on the recent changes London Notary Matthew Pryke explained, “Any removal of additional requirements to legalise a document is likely to be well received by our London Notary clients.  However as the document will still be required to be both legalised by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and also translated and then certified by the Dominican Republic Embassy the process of producing documents to be received in the Dominican Republic is still somewhat more cumbersome than a number of other countries globally.  Consequently we would continue to advise our London Notary Public clients to liaise with our London Notary Practice at the earliest opportunity to ensure deadlines can be meet and unnecessary delays avoided.“
