Client: Fatchett & Co
Fatchett & Co and CMA Video have teamed up to create a comprehensive series of videos that guide viewers through various legal documents, with a particular focus on when a notary might be needed. These videos are designed to demystify complex legal procedures, making it easier for individuals and businesses to understand when and why they may need professional assistance from a notary. The series covers a range of topics, providing viewers with clear, practical information on what notaries do and how they can support legal processes such as document certification, witnessing signatures, and verifying international paperwork.
One topic we delve into is the need for a notary when preparing to get married abroad. Planning a wedding outside of the UK can be a wonderful experience, but it often requires additional legal steps to ensure that the marriage is recognised both in the country of the ceremony and back home. In these cases, a notary plays a crucial role in authenticating documents like birth certificates, affidavits, and declarations of single status, which may be required by foreign authorities to validate the marriage. Our video series helps viewers understand what documents they might need and how a notary can facilitate the process, ensuring compliance with both UK and international legal requirements.
