What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Speed of response is the theme that recurs most often in feedback on this notary practice in Liverpool. Several buyers describe making contact at very short notice and finding that documents were certified or notarised the same day or by the following morning, with one account of a free initial consultation that raised questions the customer had not thought to ask, sparing a costly trip elsewhere. Reviews regularly refer to that appointments are kept to time and that enquiries are answered quickly, including occasions when work continued past normal hours to meet a pressing deadline.

The help extends to apostille arrangements and additional certified copies, with paperwork handled accurately and thoroughly. A detail many reviews return to is the clarity of John Gibson's explanations, so that clients understand what is needed for international documents, student visas and passport certification. His manner is described as patient, calm and gentlemanly, and his fees are characterised as fair, with one client noting they were lower than other notaries approached. Meetings have even taken place in his garden, and clients describe a dependable service that gets paperwork completed correctly for use abroad.

John is absolutely amazing! I needed a very fast turnaround with very little information from the cyprus embassy on paperwork. In the initial free consultation call John not only answered all of my questions, but asked for information I hadn't even considered asking that was extremely important, I would have been out hundreds of pounds without. (I would have had to rebook a full 2 day trip down to london!) Once I got the information from the embassy, John managed to fit me in same day to file my paperwork for both notarisation and send it off for apostille. He gave me wonderful advice on the process, and a great price cheaper then every other notary in town (I'd called about 10, John was the only one to be both kind and informative!) My paperwork is now all sent off and will be returned to me ready to go before the weeks out, in time for my embassy appointment. Absolutely amazing, very kind and informative, and does amazing quick work! I know ill have many popup papers ill need throughout my 2 year citizenship process, and ill be using John for every single one, and suggesting him to anyone who needs a Notary in Liverpool.

We are trying to sort out my late dad's affairs, he had been resident in Spain for 20 years and we were having a nightmare until we found John. John has made the process much simpler and is sorting out a Power of Attorney for us to save us having to go back and forth to Spain and trying to navigate their probate system. I would highly recommend his services.

What a gentleman. This was the second time that we contacted John to ask for his help within a very short timeframe. Both times he went out of his way to help us and stayed beyond his own working hours to complete our paperwork. John is patient, thorough and gave us invaluable advice. We wouldn’t hesitate to contact John again if we needed a notary public.
