Notarising | Kippen Campbell

All of our solicitors have been admitted as Notaries Public. This is a public office, distinct from the role of solicitor, and usually involves certifying copy papers, countersigning sworn deeds and documents or signing for those who cannot sign for themselves.

There may be occasions when you are required to have a document witnessed or an Oath or Affidavit sworn in the presence of a Notary Public.

We are able to offer a fixed fee for acting as Notary Public. Where we are asked to certify or countersigning documents, we charge a fixed fee of £75 plus VAT per document requiring to be notarised.

Our fixed fee includes:

taking your instructions,
completing the signing docket on the document,
verifying your identity and executing the document.

Our fixed fee does not include:

drafting the document to be notarised
negotiations in relation to the document with a third party
preparing any accompanying Affidavit or document.
arranging for an Apostille to be issued by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, if applicable.

Where a document requires to be legalised with a Certificate of Apostille by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (typically where the document is being used overseas), there will be a further charge, charged at the hourly rate of the solicitor involved. In addition, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office charge an administration fee of £45 for their part in that process and a postage charge of £5.00. These additional charges will be accounted to you as outlays.
