What is a Notary Document?

Question

I want to invite a friend over to england for a six month holiday and I've been asked to provide a Notary Document and then to get it legalised by the Foreign Office!

Answer 1

it is a document that you have to have certified and checked by a Notary , working in an Embassy or a private co. specialized with this sort of demand.

A UK document means that it originated or has been executed in the UK. If a UK solicitor or notary public is signing a document they should state clearly what exactly it is they are certifying in relation to the document. They must sign in their own name and not use a company signature, and they should clearly print their name and their firm’s name under the signature.

If you choose to legalise photocopies instead of original documents (when this is possible – see below), you should check with the end users of the document to ensure that this is acceptable to them.

Examples of documents we can legalise are:

UK Birth, Death, Marriage and Civil Partnership Certificates

and others documents : go to this page located in the UK and presented by the UK .

Answer 2

I think a serious document to keep you away form Gaunatamo bay or the like - so many terrorists could  reach your shore with false identifications ! Care not to bring your notary with you-none is above the law!

Answer 3

I can only imagine that the Document is proof you are as you say you are and live at the address that you have recorded.The word Notary will in this case serve as Legal proof but usually a Solicitor can verify the facts.But it does sound like a delaying tactic by the Embassy concerned.Your question is very breif and does not contain enough information for a better answer than the one given.

Answer 4

(its a document stating all about you and a notary officer is witness to your signing ( just briefly) there is more to it
