Have your document notarized by an appointed UK Notary Public, fully online. Upload your document, complete identity verification step by step, and meet your appointed Notary Public in a short digital meeting. Your notarized document is delivered digitally the next day, or by tracked post in 2–3 working days if you need a physical copy.
Notarization is the formal verification of a document, signature, or identity by a qualified Notary Public. The notarial seal gives the document legal weight with foreign authorities, embassies, employers, universities, and courts.
Most documents going abroad need notarization either as the final certification step, or as the first step before an Apostille is added for international acceptance.
Notarizing a document the traditional way means finding a local Notary Public, booking an in-person appointment, and waiting days for an opening. NotaryPublic24 handles all of it online: an appointed UK Notary Public, identity verification, the digital meeting, and your notarized document delivered in 2–3 working days.
What used to be a confusing process is handled in clear steps on the platform. The appointed Notary Public is qualified and UK-licensed. The system flags anything that needs special attention (such as educational records or corporate documents) before your meeting, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Support is always available online. NotaryPublic24 cares about you and your documents, and works hard to get it right the first time.
For documents going abroad to embassies, courts, or government bodies, notarization is often only the first step. The receiving authority typically requires an Apostille on top, which is a separate certificate issued by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).
If your destination needs that next certification, the FCDO Paper Apostille is the dedicated product for it. Notarization is included where required, and the Apostilled document is delivered ready to use. For eligible digital documents where the receiving authority accepts digital certification, the FCDO e-Apostille is a faster route.
See FCDO Paper ApostilleIt depends on the country and the receiving authority. A notarization by a qualified UK Notary Public is widely accepted around the world, including in all countries that recognize the Hague Apostille Convention (over 125 countries, including the US, Canada, most of Europe, Australia, and Japan). Some destinations require an Apostille on top of the notarization. If you're not sure what applies to your case, contact support before ordering and you'll have an answer within minutes.
It depends on where the document is going. For documents bound for foreign government bodies, embassies, courts, or universities abroad, an Apostille is often required on top of notarization. If you know you need one, the FCDO Paper Apostille is our dedicated product. Start there, and the notarization is included as part of the order. For eligible digital documents where the receiving authority accepts digital certification, the FCDO e-Apostille is a faster route. If you're not sure which fits, contact support and you'll know in minutes.
After you place your order, you'll be guided through online identity verification with a biometric and ID check, with clear instructions at every step. The whole process is encrypted and usually takes a few minutes.
Your appointed Notary Public confirms your identity, reviews your document with you, and witnesses your signature where required. The meeting takes 5–15 minutes depending on the document type, and you'll receive a booking link with a calendar invite as soon as your verification is complete.
Yes. All uploads are encrypted in transit and at rest. Only your appointed Notary Public sees the document, and originals are securely deleted after the notarial act is complete. NotaryPublic24 is GDPR compliant and applies the security standards a UK law firm would.
The FCDO Paper Apostille is a separate product you can order. It's a new order, not an add-on, since the FCDO certification is its own process with its own fee. Contact support if you'd like help figuring out the next step before you order.
