Why do I need a Notary in the UK?
The most frequent notarial function is the authentication and attestation of powers of attorney for use abroad. The majority of legal systems require powers of attorney to be executed before a notary.
At Scornik Gerstein LLP, we can provide notary public services for the purposes of witnessing documentation required in other jurisdictions.
A Notary Public may also be called upon to certify the proper execution or signing of any sort of document that is to be used overseas and, if required, to confirm that it is binding in English law. After identifying the person or persons concerned, and the substance of any fact or event, he may issue a certificate confirming such fact or event. This is frequently useful in relation to immigration or emigration matters or issues relating to personal status, marriage, divorce or adoption and many similar matters.
Other functions include the completion of documentation for the registration of a company in different parts of the Commonwealth or overseas and sometimes for the entry of a person to overseas territories.

- Certifying copies of other documents such as examination certificates.
