Power of Attorney Services
Notary Public Power of Attorney
Our office provides professional Power of Attorney notarisation services for clients across South London and Central London. A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows you to authorise someone you trust to act on your behalf in another country. This could be for property transactions, banking matters, court proceedings, or other important affairs overseas.
We have extensive experience in notarising Powers of Attorney. These are usually prepared by lawyers in the destination country and then brought to us for notarisation. We can notarize your Power of Attorney to ensure it is accepted overseas. In many cases it must also be legalised with an Apostille from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), and sometimes further certified by the relevant embassy or consulate.
We provide a fast, friendly and efficient service, with competitive fees, quick turnaround times, and flexible appointments, including evenings, weekends and even home visits.
Power of Attorney for Spain
If you are granting a Power of Attorney for use in Spain, it must first be notarised in the UK and then apostilled. Spain is a Hague Apostille country, which means once the Apostille is added, the document is recognised without further embassy legalisation. Our notaries have extensive experience preparing Spanish Powers of Attorney quickly and efficiently so that your Spanish lawyer can use the document without delay.
Power of Attorney for Dubai and the UAE
For Dubai and the wider United Arab Emirates, the process is stricter. A UK-signed Power of Attorney must be notarised, then legalised with an Apostille, and finally certified by the UAE Embassy in London. We take care of the notarisation and Apostille swiftly, and provide clear guidance on arranging the embassy stage. Our efficient service means you save valuable time on what can otherwise be a complicated process.
Power of Attorney for India
Powers of Attorney for India must be notarised in the UK, usually in the presence of witnesses, and then apostilled. In some cases Indian authorities also ask for embassy or consular certification. We ensure your Indian Power of Attorney is correctly notarised and ready for legalisation, giving you peace of mind that the document will be accepted for property, banking or legal matters in India.
Power of Attorney for the USA
For the United States, requirements vary by state. In some cases a notarised UK Power of Attorney is sufficient, while in other cases an Apostille is required to confirm the notary’s authority. Our notaries are experienced in preparing US Powers of Attorney, advising you whether an Apostille is needed, and arranging the entire process promptly so that your document will be recognised.
Power of Attorney for South Africa
If you are purchasing or selling property in South Africa, a Power of Attorney is almost always required. South African lawyers typically ask for a notarised and apostilled Power of Attorney, although in some cases notarisation alone may be accepted. We work quickly to notarise your South African Power of Attorney and, where needed, arrange the Apostille so that your transaction can move forward without unnecessary delay.
Powers of Attorney for Other Countries Worldwide
Different countries have different requirements for accepting UK Powers of Attorney. Many countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention will accept a notarised and apostilled document without further steps. Others may also require embassy or consular certification. We provide a fast, professional service so your documents are correctly prepared first time.
Making an Enquiry
To arrange notarisation of your Power of Attorney for international use, simply email us with details of the country where the document will be used and a copy of the document itself as well as any instructions received from the lawyer in the receiving jurisdiction. We will then confirm the process, the fees, and the turnaround time. With offices in South London and Central London, as well as the option of home visits, evening and weekend appointments, we make the process as convenient and efficient as possible.
Our goal is to provide you with a fast, friendly, and reliable notarial service so your Power of Attorney is ready when you need it, wherever in the world it will be used.
