Fees
What does it cost to see a Notary?
While there are no set charges, my current minimum fee is £60.00, with an hourly rate of £210.00 per hour.
In addition to his own fees, a Notary may need to charge out of his own pocket expenses for fees to The Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Embassies, Translators or Advisers on Foreign Law.
The Notaries’ Rules require that their fees be reasonable in all the circumstances of the work they are being asked to do. Notaries are also required to give an indication, in advance, of the fees they will charge for any particular work.
Most Notaries follow the advice of the Notaries Society and charge fees mainly based on the amount of time that is need to do the work.

Estimates
Clients are well advised to agree a fee in advance in of giving instructions whenever this is possible, but there will be times when the Notary may not always be able to say exactly how much time will be needed to compete a document or transaction.
It will always be helpful if clients can indicate when making an appointment whether the Notary will be asked to prepare documents, or merely to verify documents which have already been prepared in the proper form.
