Notarial Services For Sussex

Emma Buckland offers the services of a Notary Public based in Ditchling and Brighton, East Sussex.

If you are involved in an international transaction or you are planning to move to or buy/sell property in another country, the authorities in that country may ask you to sign certain documents in front of a Notary Public or ask you to produce copies of documents that have been certified by a Notary Public.

I can guide you through the notarial and legalisation procedures. I understand the need for a cost effective and efficient service and will provide you with a fixed fee.

In the majority of cases I will need to meet you to verify your identification. If you are a business I would be happy to come to your office.

It is often necessary for me to prepare a notarial certificate to attach to the document(s) and in this case I will ask you to email the document(s) and your identification documents to me before we meet, to enable me to prepare the certificate.

Notary Public Background

The title Notary Public (often shortened to “notary”) is used in most jurisdictions around the world, but with widely differing qualification requirements and functions. In the “Civil Law” countries of Europe, for instance, notaries are lawyers appointed as public officers, whose functions include preparing and validating documents recording legal transactions, such as the transfer of property. In most states of the USA, by contrast, notaries generally need no legal qualifications and have more limited functions.
