Rai Notary

FULL SERVICE NOTARIAL ONE STOP SHOP

If you're an English registered company looking to trade abroad or simply opening a subsidiary in another Country, there is a 99% chance, that you will need a Notary Public.

What is Notarisation?

Notarisation is the process of authenticating your documents for use in a foreign Country.  Without notarising your documents, the foreign recipient will not accept them.  This is NOT something a Solicitor can help you with.

At Rai Notary, we provide you with everything that you will need.  This includes:

1. NOTARISATION

We will verify your ID's as a director/shareholder and also the carry out checks of the company and can then authenticate its documents such as Certificate of Incorporation, Articles of Association, Board Resolution etc.  Sometimes, director's ID's are to be verified and appended to company documents.  All of this is known as Notarisation.

2. APOSTILLE

An Apostille is the second form of verification which is essentially a second seal applied by the Foregin Commonwealth & Developement Office (FCDO), once the documents have been first notarised.  We can arrange this for you and then have the Apostilled documents sent directly to you or directly to the foreign Country.  DHL is used to ensure guarantee, tracked delivery.  You will be notified of the tracking details so you can track its journey.

3. CONSULAR LEGALISATION

This is essentially a final form of verification as some Countries require a belt and braces approach where the document is further legalised at their Country's Consulate.  Again, we can arrange this for you and once the documents have been legalised, we will get these dispatched to an address of your choice, including another Country.  Again, DHL is used to ensure guarantee, tracked delivery.  You will be notified of the tracking details so you can track its journey.

The list of documents that we can notarise/legalise for you is not exhaustive but here are some common examples:

• Certificates of incorporation and certificates of incorporation on change of name.
• KYC identity documentation certification for your foreign branch’s local bank to add your UK based directors to their list of signatories for your foreign bank account, including certified copies of the directors’ passport ID pages, driving licence, utility bills and degree certificates.
• Certificates of good standing, including ordering these from Companies House at your request.
• Memoranda of association.
• Articles of association, including arranging and certifying translations of these into any foreign language requested.
• Applications for registration of the company or its branch/subsidiary at a foreign commercial register.
• Written resolutions of the sole director or board of directors, minutes of a meeting of the board of directors – including the drafting of these for you if requested.
