Notary Services

Sukhpal Matharoo is an employment partner in Doyle Clayton. Additionally he practices independently as a notary public. Sukhpal and his notarial team now make up one of the fastest growing teams in the UK having started offering services out of Reading to now offering services out of 7 offices in the UK (2 in London and 5 others in the South East) as well as to many clients in other parts of the country and who are based overseas.

The notary business known for providing a convenient service with a swift turn around all the while carried out in a highly professional and courteous manner. All work is carried out for a fixed fee with clear transparency as to costs.

Sukhpal provides both in-person and where possible, remote services to clients. He is also one of a very small number of notaries in the UK who has been admitted by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office to officially offer e-notarisation and e-apostille services which are fully digital and therefore offers added convenience for clients.

What is a Notary?

A UK notary public is typically a solicitor or barrister who has taken an additional qualification. Unlike solicitors (who provide a wide range of advisory services to their clients) notaries focus on a single specialised area. This includes the certification, preparation and legalisation of documents in order for them to be used in the UK or overseas. Documents prepared by a notary public may be of a personal nature (passports, wills, degree or diploma-related documentation) or of a corporate nature (certificates of incorporation, Board Resolutions or Minutes etc.).

As a general rule, if a document is to be used overseas and you have been asked to have it “certified”, “attested”, “verified” or “notarised” it almost certainly needs to be dealt with by a notary public. If your document contains the seal and signature of a notary, this indicates to the authorities in the destination country that the relevant checks have been carried out.

A notary public’s duty of care lies with the document they are notarising (using a notary seal) and ensuring that it is authentic and legal. A solicitor’s primary duty of care is to their client and always acting in the client’s best interests.

Sukhpal and his team offer a wide range of notarial services to both businesses and individuals all over the London area and beyond. We have worked with individuals as well as with a wide range of companies authenticating and certifying a variety of documents to be used overseas.

What clients say

“Thank you ever so much. It has been a wonderful experience doing business with you. Your customer care is exceptional. l won’t hesitate to refer you to my people if needed.” (Individual client)
“Sukhpal has assisted the Company for several years to notarise/legalise various, mainly patent related, documents. He is always quick to respond, ensuring documents are correctly processed in the most time and cost efficient way to meet appropriate deadlines. His experience in relation to specific country legalisation requirements, identifying omissions in documents supplied by our collaborator’s local IP agents, has often saved time and his willingness to batch documents together to provide the most cost effective processes from him and the embassy/consular/legalisation agent/couriers has been invaluable.” (Business client)

“I found Sukhpal very efficient and easy to deal with and would recommend him to anyone requiring the services of a notary.”
(Individual client)
