Notaries in Oxford

If you need a document notarised in Oxford — an academic transcript, research or identity document, or company paperwork for an overseas transaction — National Notaries connects you with a regulated notary near you and comes back with a free estimate.

Oxford is one of the most internationally connected academic cities in the world. The University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes University, and the research institutes and hospitals around the city, draw students, academics and staff from everywhere, and notarised copies of degree certificates, transcripts and identity documents — for further study, employment or professional registration abroad — are among the most common requests we handle.

The city's research economy also produces a stream of corporate notarial work: spinout and technology companies around the science parks regularly need board resolutions, powers of attorney and certificates notarised for overseas funding rounds, IP assignments and contracts.

Oxford's large international resident population also comes to us for powers of attorney and certified documents for property and family matters abroad.

Most documents for use abroad need an apostille from the FCDO, with a further embassy step for countries outside the Hague Convention. Tell us what the document is and which country it is for, and we will find a notary near you and quote for the work.

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.
