Notary Public, the oldest branch of the legal profession in England and Wales.
Notaries are Public Certifying Officers who deal principally with the certification and authentication of documents for use abroad but will also deal with the swearing of oaths and complex procedures that need to be observed if Bills of Exchange are dishonoured.
As a Notary Public, I am a member of oldest branch of the legal profession in England and Wales.
To become a Notary Public, I first had to qualify as a solicitor and then undertake a further two years of specialist notarial study at University College London.
There are only about 770 notaries in England and Wales compared to over 140,000 solicitors on the Roll.
Notaries have been appointed by the Court of Faculties of the Archbishop of Canterbury since 1503 and are subject to regulation by the Master of the Faculties.
