Notary Services for Educational Documents
Notary Services for Degrees, Qualifications & School Records for International Use
When you need your degree certificates, diplomas, professional qualifications, or children’s school records to be recognised overseas, it is essential to use a UK Notary Public. A notary is internationally recognised, unlike a solicitor, and ensures your documents have the least chance of rejection abroad. If your documents are notarised by a notary rather than a solicitor, the authentication process is smoother, more reliable, and far more likely to be accepted by foreign authorities.
We specialise in certifying educational documents for international use. Whether you are relocating for professional reasons, emigrating with your family, or applying for international licensing or registration, our notarial services ensure that your certificates and transcripts are properly verified. In many cases, an Apostille (legalisation) is required in addition to notarisation. Some countries, such as the UAE, also require embassy certification.
Our team provides a fast, friendly and efficient service from our South London and Central London offices, with weekend, evening and home visit appointments available for your convenience.
Why Choose a Notary, Not a Solicitor
For international use, documents certified by solicitors are often rejected or delayed. A UK Notary Public is specifically recognised abroad, particularly for degree certificates, qualifications and professional registrations. By choosing a notary, you reduce the risk of refusal, delays, and added costs.
Degree Certificates & Professional Qualifications for Australia (AHPRA)
If you are moving to Australia for work, the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) has strict requirements for professional qualifications. Your documents must be notarised by a UK Notary Public, and in most cases also legalised with an Apostille. We ensure that your degree certificates, diplomas, and transcripts meet the Australian guidelines, giving you the best chance of smooth registration with no rejection.
Degree Certificates for the UAE
For professional or career use in the UAE, a degree certificate or qualification must be:
- Notarised by a UK Notary Public
- Legalised with an Apostille by the UK Foreign Office
- Certified by the UAE Embassy in London
We handle the notarisation and Apostille process quickly and efficiently, and provide clear instructions for the embassy stage. Our service ensures your UAE employer or licensing body will accept your documents without issue.
Children’s School Records and Family Relocation
If you are relocating overseas with your family, many schools abroad will ask for school reports, transcripts or confirmation letters to be notarised and legalised. We offer notary services for children’s school records as part of the relocation process, ensuring your children’s education continues smoothly when moving abroad.
Other Countries Worldwide
Every country has its own rules for recognising UK educational documents. Some require just notarisation, others ask for Apostille legalisation, and certain jurisdictions also demand embassy certification. We advise on the exact process for your destination country and prepare your documents so they are properly accepted.
