What Is a Notary Public?

A notary public is a qualified legal professional — in Ireland, always a practising solicitor with additional qualifications — authorised to certify documents for use in other countries. Unlike a commissioner for oaths (who can certify documents for use in Ireland only), a notary public's seal and signature is recognised internationally and can be further authenticated with an apostille from the Department of Foreign Affairs.

Hugh Phelan is a practising solicitor and notary public with extensive experience in international document certification. He serves clients from Bantry, Douglas, Cork city, and all surrounding areas, providing expert guidance on the specific requirements of foreign authorities.

2. Valid government-issued photo ID (passport or driving licence)
3. Any instructions from the foreign authority, employer, or immigration body

Apostille and Legalisation Services for Bantry Clients

The Irish Department of Foreign Affairs has an office at 1A South Mall, Cork where apostilles can be obtained. For clients from Bantry, this is conveniently located in Cork city. Hugh Phelan will confirm current processing times and whether urgent processing is available for your situation.
