Notary Services

If you reside in the United Kingdom but need to have documents notarized for use in the United States, you have two choices:  • Notarize Documents Through the Embassy  • Notarize Documents Through the British System

Notary services are provided by appointment only, to American and non-American citizens, who need to have documents notarized for use in the United States. Appointments cannot be made by telephone and you will not be admitted to the Embassy for a notary service without an appointment; walk-ins are not accepted.

Book your appointment now! (You can only book on days shaded yellow. The Embassy is closed on all UK and U.S. public holidays.)

You Must Bring:
 • Your passport as means of personal identification, and
 • Evidence of a name change if the name in your passport differs from the name on the documents you wish to have notarized.

Fee:
 • $30.00 for the first signature/seal
 • $20.00 for each additional signature/seal
 • Payment may be made in Pounds Sterling, U.S. Dollars, or by credit card (Visa or Mastercard ONLY). Personal checks are not accepted.
