Notaries are often asked to provide a Notarial Certificate or a Certificate of Law with reference to “UK Law”. The reason for that is foreign individuals, foreign authorities and businesses overseas require confirmation of a certain fact or a legal opinion on a matter pursuant to the particular law that applies within the UK.
It would be wrong for a Notary to refer to “UK Law” as there is no such thing as “UK Law”. Reference should be made to one of the three legal systems which govern the UK (i.e. England & Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland). As such the correct reference to the law is to the law of England & Wales or the law of Scotland or the law of Northern Ireland. They are all different.
The requirements for qualification, the practice rules and the regulation of Notaries in all three of the said legal systems differ.
