Terms of use

Status of the information on the site

The content on the site, including the guides, the fee schedule, the tables and the videos, is intended to provide general information and to help you find your way. It does not constitute legal advice or a legal opinion, nor is it a substitute for them. Requirements for notarisation, translation and apostille vary by country and by the body receiving the document, and should be confirmed with the receiving body.

Amounts, fees, deadlines and legal provisions change from time to time. Although we make every effort to keep the site up to date, there may be a gap between what is published on it and the law or amounts in force at the time you read it. Every figure should be verified against the official source.

No commitment to perform a service

Browsing the site, sending a form, a document or an email enquiry does not create an advocate-client relationship and does not oblige the office to perform a notarial act. Notarial services are provided only after the documents have been checked, the applicant has been identified and an appointment has been arranged, in accordance with the Notaries Law and the regulations under it.

A quotation given before the original document has been checked is an estimate only. If your matter is urgent, do not rely on an online enquiry alone: call us.

Use of the calculators: disclaimer

The site offers calculators and tools, including the notary fee calculator (the "calculators"). The calculators are intended to assist with a preliminary estimate only. The result of a calculation is an approximate estimate. It is not legal advice, tax advice, a legal opinion, an assessment or a binding quotation, and it is not a substitute for any of them. The result does not bind the office, and it does not bind any tax authority, court, land registry or other authority.

The result is based only on the data entered and on simplified assumptions. The calculators do not take into account all the provisions of the law, exemptions, reliefs, exceptions and personal circumstances of every transaction, proceeding or service. Missing, wrong or inaccurate data will lead to a wrong result.

Notary fees are set by the Notaries (Service Fees) Regulations, 5739-1978, and are updated from time to time. At the time of use the calculator may not reflect the amounts in force, even if no notice to that effect is displayed.

The final fee is determined by the type of service and by the actual number of documents, pages and words, as checked at the office before the service is provided.

No decision should be made on the basis of a calculator result alone, including signing an agreement, paying a tax, fee or charge, filing a report, application or proceeding, or waiving a right. Before any such decision, obtain individual advice and verify the data against the official source.

Use of the calculators and their results is at the user's sole responsibility. Subject to any law, the office, the advocate and anyone acting on their behalf shall bear no liability whatsoever, direct or indirect, for any damage, loss, expense, payment of tax, fee, fine, interest, linkage differentials or missed deadline arising from use of the calculators, from reliance on their results, or from any error, omission, malfunction or unavailability in them.

Using a calculator, including saving its results or sending them to the office, does not create an advocate-client or notary-client relationship. The privacy policy applies to the data entered in the calculators.
