Frequently Asked Questions
Discover quick answers to common inquiries about our enotary services, processes, and expertise.
What is an online notary service and how does it work?
An online notary service lets you notarise documents over a secure video call. A qualified notary verifies your ID, witnesses your signature and sends the notarised document electronically, usually within about 30 minutes. See our Remote Online Notarisation service or How it Works guide.
Which companies offer online notary services in the UK?
Some UK notaries and specialist platforms offer online notarisation, but not all do. Always choose a qualified notary regulated by the Faculty Office. eNotary Public UK is a trading name of Wharf Notaries, regulated by the Faculty Office. Full details are on our About Us page.
Is it possible to get urgent online notary services in the UK?
Often, yes. With no travel and appointments typically taking around 30 minutes, online notarisation is usually quicker than visiting in person. Our eApostille service is typically processed within 24 to 48 hours. Contact us with your deadline and we’ll confirm availability.
How can I verify the legitimacy of an online notary platform?
Check that the notary is qualified and regulated by the Faculty Office, offers a clear complaints route, verifies ID through a live video meeting, uses encryption and complies with UK GDPR. Pricing should also be transparent. See how we meet these standards on our About Us page.
Do online notaries offer multilingual support in the UK?
Many do, as documents are often used abroad. Notaries must be satisfied that you understand what you’re signing, so a translation or interpreter may sometimes be needed. If you need support in a particular language, contact us before booking and we’ll advise.
Are online notaries recognised by all UK institutions?
Not always. Online notarisation is legally recognised in the UK, but acceptance depends on the receiving institution, and some documents may still need in-person witnessing. Check requirements with the recipient before booking. Read more in Is Online Notarisation Legal in the UK?
How to verify the authenticity of an online notarised document
Check the notarial certificate for the notary’s name, signature, seal and date, and confirm the notary is regulated by the Faculty Office. You can also ask the issuing notary to confirm it. If the document carries an apostille, verify it with the issuing authority. See our eApostille service.
What security measures do online notary providers use?
Reputable providers verify identity through live video and photo ID, encrypt video sessions and file transfers, and store documents securely with restricted access and audit trails. They also comply with UK GDPR. Read Is Online Notarisation Secure? for more.
