The US Embassy London provides the following advice on how to have US documents Notarised (Notarized) in London for use in the US:
“ ..you may have your documents notarized under the two-step British system.
Step 1: Sign your documents in front of a notary public.
Step 2: Send the documents to the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) Legalisation Office, which will legalize the signature and stamp of the notary public by means of an apostille, or certificate. Please see The British Foreign and Commonwealth Legalisation Office website for further information.
Documents notarized this way comply with the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents, October 5, 1961, to which the United States became a party effective October 15, 1981, and should be accepted for use in the United States.”
