Please note that we do not offer a walk up service. If you need to be seen please get in touch first.

You arrive at our address and I meet you on the driveway and we complete the notarial act together whilst you remain in your own vehicle. For these types of appointment I ask to see everything in advance so that I can have everything ready for signature. These appointments are helpful if you have mobility needs, or if you have a child asleep in their carseat!

Doorstep Drop Offs

 Available in Liverpool (L18) and suitable for true copies, verified originals and direct legalisation only.

You drop off your documents on the doorstep and collect them once complete (usually the next day).

We will get in touch once we have processed the documents with invoicing and payment details and to arrange collection.

The client / bearer of the documents will usually need to drop their own documents  personally but in most cases can authorise a third party to collect on their behalf.

Doorstep drops are suitable if:-

• You require true copies of physical originals and all your original ID is physical and not electronic.
• You are local and happy to attend on two occasions (once to drop and again to collect)
• You require verified certificates or direct apostilles (although our remote options may be more convenient)

Doorstep drops are not suitable if:-

• You need to sign, swear, declare, or acknowledge anything.
• Your ID is electronic.
• You require true print outs of electronic originals.
• You wish to discuss anything face to face or have any queries.
• You are uncomfortable leaving your original ID with us.
• You wish to pay by card.

Doorstep drops usually take place outside of core hours and and only done by appointment. We can give an idea of likely availability in advance but are usually only able to commit to a doorstep drop arrangement on the day of the appointment. Whatsapp is the preferred medium for arranging a doorstep drop.

Doorstep drops need to be arranged. Unscheduled doorstep drops would be billed as Out of Hours attendances.

 It is your responsibility to ensure that your documents are properly described when arranging your appointment. If your documents are incomplete or unsuitable for a doorstep drop then you would need to make an a standard appointment and additional charges would apply.

Meet Ups

Meet Up appointments  take place away from our office but mobile charges are  waived because the location is either on my way somewhere (eg between Liverpool and Manchester) or I am already at that location for some other reasons.

When quoting we will usually provide you with a price for an appointment during core hours.

If you require an appointment outside of these times additional charges will apply. The level of the charges depends on the requested time.

An out of hours appointment at a relatively straight forward time (often evenings around 8:30/9pm or late morning at weekends, but can vary) will usually be charged at the greater of either 2x the standard appointment charge or £200+standard appointment charge.

Where the proposed dates or times are particularly inconvenient the multiplier / surcharge will be greater. If we can offer you a better alternative then we will.

For the purposes of the out of hours calculation the “standard charge” includes all notary charges and mobile charges with the exclusion of disbursements such as apostilles, couriers etc.

Remote

You do not always need to see us face to face. Certain work types can be done remotely if that is more convenient. Typical documents that are capable of remote notarisation include verified education certificates and DBS certificates.

If original documents need to be inspected for a remote work type they can be posted or dropped through our letterbox. Please contact us before sending anything to ensure that we are able and available to assist and that you have the correct and complete address.

Documents can be sent by post / courier or dropped through the letterbox. We recommend getting in touch after dropping off documents to check they have been received.

If you or a family member are dropping documents through the letterbox please avoid ringing the bell. If you wish to speak to someone or put your documents into our hands then please arrange a doorstep drop appointment.
