At Company Notary, we notarise documents to support investment visa and nationality applications. With changes to non-domicile tax status under the November 2024 UK budget, some clients have responded by leaving the country, and others are considering a move to another country. We also support clients who are purchasing property or investing in businesses in other countries. In some cases, this may enable them to receive residency in that country. A notary may be needed to support the documents being signed or authenticated.
Here are our top 3 tips:
- Work backwards from any deadline or application closing date. There is little opportunity to extend. If your documents need notarisation or legalisation, and only wet ink or originals will be accepted, you may run out of time. Involve us early in the process.
- Engage with us early – at the same time you engage those who are managing your project. That way, we can help you navigate any implications arising from notarisation and legalisation. Some countries have embassies with specific requirements( like translations) and can take over 3 weeks to deal with documents.
- Birth, Marriage and Death Certificates – get additional official copies from the registry. If you are asked to provide originals to support an application you are making, you may not get the document back. Always wise to have a back-up copy and use that. We can help you obtain UK certificates.
