Notary

There are currently 740 (approximately) General Notaries in England and Wales. Warners is fortunate to have three of its lawyers who are also practising Notaries. You may not, however, be aware of exactly what it is that they do, and the occasions on which you might wish to take advantage of their Notarial services.

Who are Notaries?

The profession of a Notary is open to all those with a legal training and so, not surprisingly, the majority of Notaries are also solicitors. After passing the required examinations in Notarial practice, they then practise under the supervision of an experienced Notary for a period of two years.

There are two different types of Notary, Scrivenor and General. The lawyers at Warners are General Notaries which means they are qualified to practise anywhere in England and Wales.
