Have your document notarised online

Partner notaries on notarity offer a wide range of services, including signature notarisation, powers of attorney, corporate documents, affidavits, certifications of facts and certified copies of IDs and passports. If a document can legally be notarised by a notary, the appointment can generally take place fully online.

Wills cannot be made online. Some acts under German law need a notarial deed by a German notary, for example founding a GmbH or UG, transferring shares in a GmbH or buying real estate in Germany. For these, partner notaries on notarity can notarise a power of attorney online, and with an apostille a representative can then carry out the act in Germany for you.

No. Documents can be notarised in any language. The notary verifies your identity and signature, not the document's content. If the recipient needs a certified translation, you can order one at translate.notarity.com. The notary notarises exactly the version signed in the appointment, so if the notarised signature should be on the translated version, translate first and sign afterwards.

Yes. A UK notary can confirm factual information, such as UK Companies House extracts, shareholder or director lists, or that a document exists or was presented. Select the United Kingdom as destination country when you book. For use within the UK, an apostille is often not needed; for use outside it, a UK apostille from the FCDO usually is, digital or on paper. A UK apostille takes longer than described above: the digital one is usually ready within 24 hours on working days, the paper one, as Express Apostille, in 3 to 4 working days.
