Many cases are urgent, however, and the clients will often need to bring the necessary evidence with them. As regards fees, the Notaries' Rules require that their fees should be reasonable in all the circumstances of the work they are being asked to do. Most Notaries follow the advice of The Notaries' Society and charge fees based mainly on the amount of time that is needed to do the work. They may charge more if the work has to be done out of normal hours, if it requires specialist skills, or if it involves a matter of unusual complexity or value.
Some Notaries are able to offer translation skills.
The current recommendation of the Council of The Notaries' Society is that the hourly rate for time should be 135 with a minimum fee of 35. In addition to his own fees the Notary may need to charge out of pocket expenses for fees to the Foreign Office or Embassies, translators or advisers on foreign law or for travel and postal expenses.
