London Notary Public practice M D Pryke Notary Public has become the latest notary practice to convert to a limited liability partnership (LLP), the London West End firm announced today.  The conversion to LLP status was backed via a members vote last month which allows this London Notary Public practice to adopt a modern corporate structure whilst retaining the same internal management, structures and quality standards.

London Notary Public Matthew Pryke commented, “Whilst our decision to convert to a LLP will have little or no effect on our clients, it enables our London notary practice to maintain a structure and transparency similar to that of a corporate entity which will enable us to better serve our notary clients and manage our London Notary Public practice in the future.”

A number of London Notary Public practices have converted to LLP status and it is predicted that many of the other London notaries are likely to follow suit in the near future.  For further details regarding M D Pryke Notary Public LLP please refer to the London Notary website at www.mdpryke-notary.com.

Commenting on the news London Notary Public Matthew Pryke stated, “We are delighted to announce that our notary fees will not increase for the third consecutive year which I am sure will be welcomed by all of our notary clients.

An experienced Notary Public should be familiar with the Apostille process and be able to assist. In most circumstances the requirement for an Apostille relates to countries that are part of the Hague Convention.

Without going into details regarding the legalities of this process the practical solution is provided by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.  Once a document has been notarised by a fully qualified notary public the document can then go to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to have an Apostille, or legalisation certificate, attached.

This process can be achieved in less than 24 hours if a matter is more pressing and London Notary Public Matthew Pryke suggests that you speak to a notary public who will have experience of dealing with both the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the various country embassies based in London.   London Notary Public Matthew Pryke finds that the large majority of his clients prefer for him to deal with the legalisation process as this is something that his London Notarty Public practice is used to dealing with on a day to day basis.  To confirm the legalisation requirements for the country to which your documents relate speak to your notary public in advance of the meeting so that you have a clear understanding of the time periods and costs involved.  However London Notary Public Matthew Pryke explains that “the large majority of matters can be dealt with in the same day which can provide a necessary solution for many of the individuals and business which my practice serve.”

London Notary Public Matthew Pryke would like to inform all of his clients that with effect from 9 April 2009 the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has increased their legislation fees as follows:

Applications to premium service (Centrepoint, London) – £69 per Apostile.

Applications to Norfolk House (Milton Keynes) – £28 per Apostile.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office explain that the fee has increased because “the cost of legalising have increased.” London Notary Public Matthew Pryke explains that “the increase in prices is unlikely to be warmly received by notary clients, however we are please to announce that for the third year running M D Pryke Notary Public LLP has taken the decision to freeze the fees that it charges to notarised documents.” M D Pryke Notary Public LLP is a London Notary Public practice, based in the west end, which charges fixed fees per document, with no VAT charged on the fees.  This can offer a significant saving to many of the clients of this London Notary Public.

In English law, a person appointed by the Lord Chancellor with power to administer oaths or take affidavits. All practising solicitors have these powers but must not use them in proceedings in which they are acting for any of the parties or in which they have an interest.

A London Notary Public such as Matthew Pryke is also a commissioner for oaths and can therefore deal with any requirements for a commissioner for oaths that you may encounter.  A meeting with a Notary Public should take no longer than 15 to 20 minutes and the large majority of matters should be dealt with on the same day.  The fee you will be charged by the notary public may vary so make sure that you shop around and remember to ask whether the notary public will charge VAT on the fees as this will effect the price you pay. London Notary Public Matthew Pryke does not charge VAT on his professional fees which he explains, “offers many of my notary clients a very useful saving.” For further information regarding Commissioner for Oaths please refer to the affiliated website of London Notary Public Matthew Pryke.
