Making an Appointment
Please read these instructions carefully before proceeding. You may wish to print a copy of this page for use when making a notary appointment.
Please complete the information requested on the notary appointment form as fully as possible. Failure to do so may delay your access to the Embassy and/or receiving your notary service.
- When entering your telephone number, do not/not include spaces or hyphens ('-').
- Each person signing documents must make an individual appointment. If you are making multiple appointments, do not use the link at the bottom of the "Appointment Details" page. Instead, return to this page and use the link at the bottom.
- Do not make multiple appointments for yourself. If you do so, you will be contacted to choose one date/time. If you do not respond, an appointment date/time will be chosen for you from those you have scheduled. You will only be allowed into the Embassy on the confirmed date.
- After making your appointment, print the "Appointment Details" page and bring it with you on the day of your appointment.
You must be no more than 30 minutes early for your appointment, or 60 minutes late. If you are earlier or later than this, the guards will turn you away. You MUST bring your passport as means of personal identification, as well as evidence of a name change if the name in your passport differs from the name on the documents you wish to have notarized. Bring as little as possible to the Embassy. Do not bring luggage or electronics.
Once granted access to the Embassy, all individuals seeking notary services will be directed to the American Citizen Services waiting area, where they will take a number and be served in the order in which they arrived. Appointments are scheduled for one-hour blocks of time and you will be served within that hour.
If an appointment is not available before the date on which your documents must be notarized, please email LondonNotary@state.gov . Use "emergency notary appointment" as the subject line of your email, include a brief explanation of the reason you are requesting the emergency appointment, note the date and time for which you wish to schedule the emergency appointment, and note the number of documents you need notarized. Also include your telephone number. We will contact you as soon as possible.
NOTE: We urge you to plan ahead. If, for example, you know your house closing is scheduled for a date two weeks from now, and you expect to have your documents a week before the closing, schedule an appointment for a day or two after you expect to have the documents, but before you need to return to them to the United States. We can accommodate a limited number of emergency appointment requests each day, so please, plan ahead. You can always cancel or reschedule an appointment if needed by following the instructions on these pages.
To Re-schedule an Appointment
If you need to re-schedule an appointment, please book a new appointment, then use the link at the bottom of the "Appointment Details" page to cancel the previous one. You will need the appointment password from your initial appointment to do so. If you need to cancel only and not schedule a new appointment, please click here ; you will need the appointment password from your initial appointment to cancel it. If you do not have your appointment password, send an email to LondonNotary@state.gov with your full name and appointment date and time, requesting the cancellation. Use "notary appointment cancellation" as your subject line.
