Finding a qualified notary in the Thames Valley can prove difficult as there are only just over 800 in the whole of the UK. Friar Street Notaries works out of the offices of Blandy & Blandy solicitors in the centre of Reading and has three qualified notaries who are all lawyers at the firm. This enables us to offer a full range of notarial services and to provide assistance in urgent matters at short notice.

We provide notarial services to businesses (including many public and private national and multi-national companies) as well as to private individuals across Berkshire, Oxfordshire and the Thames Valley.
