Pricing Information
The provision of notarial services and dealing with translations, apostilles and consular legalisation can involve a wide range of factors depending on the nature of your instructions and the particular requirements of the recipients of our notarial acts around the world.
We offer a complete notarisation, translation and legalisation service to deal with all your requirements.
Every instruction is different and we encourage you to contact us so that we can provide you with clear guidance on the key stages of the work, our fees, and any associated costs, such as the costs of apostilles, consular legalisation stamps, or delivery by courier.
For simpler instructions we will provide a fixed-fee quote and explain the associated costs, including circumstances in which those costs cannot be stated precisely at the outset and/or may change over time.
For more complex instructions we will set out the basis for our charges and give you a proper estimate of the work to be carried out, the fee to be charged for that work, and the associated costs. We will keep you up to date with the work and if our estimate of the fees or associated costs changes, we will inform you promptly.
