Sharon Stone, Notary Public

About

I provide the full range of notarial services to individuals and companies. I certify all types of documents, affidavits and statutory declarations.

Story

I am a qualified Notary Public for England and Wales, regulated by the Faculty Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury. My acts carry special evidential weight and status abroad.

I offer the full range of Notary Public services for both individuals and businesses.
These include:
Attesting the execution of documents;
Certifying the genuineness of copy documents;
Taking declarations, Affidavits, Oaths and Acknowledgments;
Preparing and certifying Powers of Attorney;
Dealing with documents relating to foreign probates;
Verifying academic qualifications;
Dealing with immigration, emigration, residency or status documentation (e.g. OCI or PIO declarations for India) including sponsorship letters to support visa applications.

You will need to make an appointment to see me when I will check evidence of your identity – ideally your current passport, identity card or driving licence with photo, together with a council tax or utility bill or a bank statement to confirm your address. If you are acting on behalf of a Company or other party, I will also need to check your authority to act. I will then ascertain that you understand the essence of the document and that you are willing to be bound by its terms.

It is always helpful to email to me in advance the document(s) required to be notarised. This may save you time and expense by enabling me to resolve any queries before I see you.

Once you have executed the document, I will sign and seal it with my official notarial seal and stamp.

Legalisation
Some foreign documents require further authentication to assure foreign authorities that the Notary's signature and seal are those of a proper and qualified Notary. This process is called "legalisation". For many destination countries, this will mean that a UK Foreign & Commonwealth office certificate called an "Apostille" must be affixed. Documents going to other countries may require additional legalisation, typically from foreign embassies in London.

I can provide legalisation services for you.
