Notarial Pricing

Notarial fees vary and are based on the following factors:

​

• The type of transaction undertaken

• The complexity of the documents

• The number of persons appearing before the notary

• Whether the appointment is provided at short notice

• The time taken to prepare the notarial act

• Other relevant factors

​

An estimated cost can often be provided by phone if a detailed description of the transaction is given.  Sometimes it is necessary for the notary to see the documents before an accurate fee estimate is offered.

​

Charges are not solely calculated by reference to the time taken to complete the work, but where there is a time element, it is usually based on the rates chargeable by a senior commercial lawyer.
