Notary services for you

Matthew's notarial practice is operated totally independently of the practice of Thomas Flavell & Sons.

A Notary Public's main duty is to authenticate documents and forms for use outside of England and Wales. Any company or individual looking to conduct business or a transaction abroad is likely to require a Notary Public.

As a Notary, it is one of Matthew’s duties to ensure that the people appearing before him are properly identified and he will normally require to see a passport together with another item confirming the appearor`s address. All transactions by limited companies need to be supported by similar evidence of identity and the authority of the appearing officers of the company.

Matthew does not advise on the effect of the documents he is asked to authenticate. If Matthew is asked to work in a foreign language he does not understand sufficiently, he may have to ask for a translation or restrict his authentication.
