About Me
My name is Chris and I am a Notary Public, practising in Hertfordshire, England.
I deal with all aspects of notarial work, including:
- Affidavits
- Apostille and legalisation of documents
- Authentication of company documentation
- Certificates of law
- Certification of education/degree certificates
- Notarial certificates
- Powers of attorney
- Statutory declarations
- Verification of identity
I am a Private Client Solicitor with over 11 years’ experience, specialising in Wills, Trusts and Probate. My legal background has equipped me with a wide range of skills which translate to my work as a notary, however my work as a solicitor is entirely separate from my notarial practice.
Subject to availability, I am able to see clients during office hours at the St. Albans office of Debenhams Ottaway Solicitors, which is where I work. Alternatively, I can travel to see clients at their home or premises in all areas surrounding Hertford, which is where I live, as well as St. Albans and the rest of East and Central Hertfordshire.
I can offer evening and weekend appointments, subject to my availability.

Legalisation
What is legalisation?
Legalisation is a process whereby a notary's signature and seal are verified by independent government officials. Depending on the document and country, legalisation is normally needed before the notarised document can be recognised and accepted in the receiving jurisdiction.

Legalisation and Apostille
I can assist you with this process. Usually, it will involve applying to the Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office for an apostille to be attached to the notarised document.
Consular legalisation
Some countries will require legalisation by their own consulate in England, which is normally an additional step to obtaining an apostille.
Legalisation agents
Like many notaries, I use legalisation agents to assist with the above.
