When taking on a client, Notaries must verify their identity, legal capacity, and understanding of the document as well as their authority if they are signing on behalf of another party such as a limited company.

What does a Notary do?
Why not go to a solicitor?
Unless a solicitor is also a qualified Notary Public, he or she will not be able to prepare, authenticate or certify documents for use abroad, meaning you will need to seek out a qualified notary.
