Notary Public Leeds

An English Notary Public is an officer of the law appointed by the Court of Faculties (after passing professional examinations) whose public office and duty it is to prepare, to witness, and/or to certify under his seal of office, deeds and other documentation for use anywhere in the world.

Please note our office is based in Leeds. Although, if you are not in Leeds then don’t worry - please do still get in touch. We are very often able to assist with your notarial requirements remotely, or put you in touch with someone local to you.

    Testimonials


    • It goes without saying that my sons and I will certainly recommend you to family & friends. Once again, many thanks to you and Chris for such excellent service.

      Kind regards

    • Quick note to thank both of you for a very efficient, customer friendly service. I deserved more than just the politest of reprimands for not putting in my full name but it was handled excellently, and my only defence was that my original draft was not intended to be notarised (as the Americans call it). Anyway your digitalised version was transmitted immediately and I got a big thank you as their initial submission was just waiting for my statement, so it has already gone to the relevant authorities.

       Thanks again.

    • Excellent, prompt yet friendly service.
      Great care and attention was given to the 'after sales' service.
      I would highly recommend AtkinsonNotary Limited.

      SUSAN

    • Chris and Louise were terrific from the first moment I telephoned to the visit and the follow up. Both were very friendly and highly professional as well as incredibly efficient. AtkinsonNotary must be the best firm to go to for any notary requirements. As a busy surgeon, my time is important and I also need to know that confidentiality is being respected. AtkinsonNotary ticks all the boxes!

      PROFESSOR J PETER A LODGE

    • Very easy to book an appointment. Both Chris and Louise were friendly, welcoming and most importantly- highly professional. A massive bonus was an onsite parking and their office was accessible via a pram (my case) and would definitely be easily accessible for a wheelchair user. 

      Would definitely recommend.

      KRISTINE MIHALKINA

    • Atkinson Notary is my first choice for any notary services.

      Over a number of years they have supplied a highly professional and often same day service to our business in respect of the notarisation of documents requirements throughout the world.

      Chris Atkinson has an extensive knowledge and first-hand experience of individual country requirements and is helpfully questioning and guiding to ensure that notary and apostille requirements are accurately and successfully completed.
