In today’s fast-moving international and commercial environment, legal documents often need to be notarised urgently. Whether you are dealing with an overseas property transaction, international company matter, visa application, foreign power of attorney, affidavit, certified passport copy, or cross-border probate issue, delays can have serious consequences.
For this reason, Staple Inn Notaries and International Lawyers now offers professional walk-in notary services in Central London, subject to availability.
Based at Fox Court, 14 Gray’s Inn Road, London WC1X 8HN, our office is conveniently located near Holborn, Chancery Lane, Farringdon, King’s Cross, and the City of London, making it accessible for both London-based and international clients requiring urgent notarisation.
What Are Walk-In Notary Services?
Walk-in notary services allow clients to attend our Central London office without needing to wait several days for an appointment. Where availability permits, we aim to assist clients with urgent notarial requirements on the same day.
This is particularly useful for:
Urgent international transactions
Overseas property completions
Last-minute embassy or consular requirements
Foreign powers of attorney
Affidavits and sworn statements
Certified copies of passports and corporate documents
International banking and compliance documentation
Foreign company resolutions and shareholder documents
Apostille and legalisation matters
As experienced London Notaries, we understand that many international transactions operate under strict deadlines. Our walk-in service is designed to accommodate clients who require efficient, professional, and legally compliant notarisation without unnecessary delay.

At Staple Inn Notaries and International Lawyers, clients benefit from a practice that also advises on:
International private client matters
Cross-border trusts and estates
Probate and succession
International tax considerations
Corporate structuring and compliance
International property transactions
Dispute prevention and resolution
This broader legal background is particularly valuable where documents relate to complex international legal or commercial arrangements.
What You Should Bring to a Walk-In Notary Appointment
Clients attending for walk-in notarisation should normally bring:
Original identification (passport or driving licence)
Proof of residential address
The original documents requiring notarisation
Any instructions received from the foreign lawyer, authority, bank, or overseas organisation
Company documents where corporate signing authority must be verified
Additional documents may be required depending on the jurisdiction and nature of the transaction.

Same-Day Notary Services in London
Where possible, we endeavour to provide same-day notary appointments for urgent matters. However, clients are encouraged to telephone ahead where practical to confirm availability and document requirements.
International legal matters frequently involve strict procedural and evidential requirements. As such, it is important that notarisation is carried out correctly by an experienced English Notary authorised to practise law throughout England & Wales.
