We provide a transparent and highly competitive pricing structure. We are confident that our rates offer customers the best-priced premium service delivered with unrivalled efficiency. Our notaries will handle your requirements with the utmost discretion, and where required, all documents will be personally hand-delivered and collected by our experienced in-house staff.
Before we do any work for you, we will be sure to provide you with a detailed cost breakdown. We will advise you on the fees for notarisation, and if any additional services are needed, such as legalisation, translation or document couriering, we will provide a quote.
We charge notarial fees on a per-document basis. If you would like, we will assess your notarial requirements and provide a fixed quote. For more complex certifications, we will charge according to the instructed notary's hourly rate, which will be advised at the outset. In addition to notarial fees, we may charge for ancillary services such as arranging legalisations or translations, call-out visits, document couriering and drafting. If applicable, these additional fees will be given in our quote and may be based on a fixed fee or hourly rate basis, depending on the service needed.
Where we incur any costs from third parties, these fees will be passed directly on to you as disbursements. These disbursements include any fees consulates and government departments charged when legalising a document.
We will let you know of disbursements when you get a quote. Please note that any consulate fee will be provided to you in good faith, however consulates can change their fees and procedures without notice. Where we can, we will help keep disbursement costs to a minimum. For example, if possible, we may suggest bundling your documents under fewer notarial certificates as this will result in fewer charges payable.
