When making applications of any kind abroad or in the UK, it is common practice for the country abroad to require you to authenticate and legalise the relevant documents. This is to ensure that you can use your documents both here and abroad. To do this you will need notary and/or solicitors services.
Instructing a solicitor to take care of your notary requirements minimises the risk of fraud and guarantees that your documents will be accepted overseas. Notary services are usually required for private individuals and commercial firms who engage in business overseas.
Some countries are happy for documents to be authenticated by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office. In this situation we are still able to help you carry out the necessary requirements, and it is important to carefully check what your intended country requires.
By instructing Lansbury Worthington you will receive the assurance that your documents are properly authenticated and accepted as legally binding for their intended purpose.
