Notaries in Folkestone and Hythe

If you need a document notarised in Folkestone and Hythe — for use overseas, a property matter abroad, or a family document — National Notaries connects you with a regulated notary near you and comes back with a free estimate, usually within the hour.

As the home of the Channel Tunnel terminal, Folkestone has close and constant ties to mainland Europe, and we regularly help residents and businesses with power of attorney documents and contracts for French and other EU property, family and business matters.

Most documents for use in the EU need an apostille from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office once notarised — France, like most European countries, is in the Hague Convention, so no further embassy legalisation is usually required. We arrange the apostille as part of the service.

Many of the notaries on our panel cover Folkestone, Hythe, Sandgate and the surrounding towns, with appointments at your home or workplace as well as at their office.

This is the country you require the documents for.
We need to know which postcode area you are in so we can send your enquiry to notaries local to you. If the area is too broad notaries do not respond. This will help us to better help you.
We need to understand what documents you need to be notarised. If your enquiry has limited details our experience tells us that notaries do not respond. If you give some details the pick up level is significantly higher and quicker.
For example – “I need legal documents for the US” would be better as “Sale of my property in Florida requires notarisation. Only one person signing."
If you would like some help with this you can call our helpline and we will be happy to help.

When we receive your enquiry we will be in touch to discuss your requirements.
