What Is a Notary Public?
A notary public is a legally authorised professional who:
-
Verifies the authenticity of documents.
-
Witnesses and records signatures.
-
Certifies true copies of important records.
-
Ensures documents meet legal standards for use in the UK and overseas.
With DigiNotary, this process is handled entirely online through a secure video appointment — no need to travel or post documents before your session.
