NOTARISING A DOCUMENT
This is where a notary public checks the ID of a person appearing before the notary, the client then signs the document, and then the notary both signs and seals the document. The fee is £75.00 without any VAT needing to be added on top because Anglo-Spanish Law is not VAT registered.
Normally, a document that needs notarising also needs legalising or apostilling by, usually, the Foreign & Commonwealth Office. The fee charged by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office for a basic postal application for an apostille to be affixed to a document is currently £28.00.
Anglo-Spanish Law does not notarise documents for any country other than Spain. Furthermore, Anglo-Spanish Law does not in effect countersign someone else's work. In short, it is extremely rare for Anglo-Spanish Law to get involved in simply notarising a document. Normally, for Anglo-Spanish Law to be involved in the notarising of a document, there is more work to be done, such as, for example, draft a Spanish power of attorney or prepare a Spanish Will.

For the simple notarisation and legalisation of a document for any country in the world, including Spain, it is recommended that the services of Mr Simon P Alliott, solicitor partner and notary public of Atteys, Solicitors, are used. For Attey's website click http://www.atteys.co.uk
Anglo-Spanish Law does not accept liability for the acts, or for the failure to act, of others. Clients should seek redress from the people really responsible for any loss they might have suffered.
