Notary Public

Jill Sinclair is the Notary Public at Acorn.

Jill is based in our Street office for appointments.

Jill provides a Notary Public service separate from her work as a Solicitor for anyone who might require a legal document signed by a Notary Public. She is legally authorised to certify a document when a Notary Public is necessary. Jill’s notarial practice is regulated by the Faculty Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Often a Notary Public is needed for a document that needs to be used in another country, for example if your business wants to establish an office abroad, if you are buying or selling property abroad or if you want to confirm your single status when planning to marry in a foreign country.

Jill has worked alongside many companies and businesses as a Notary Public and authenticated many different types of document. Jill can also arrange for Consular legalisation or an Apostille, as appropriate.

Jill will provide a quote for the work at the outset so that you know what your costs will be.
