In the course of my business as notary public, I am committed to providing notarial services to a high standard and I aim to deal with all of my clients fairly. My services and charges are covered by a formal complaints policy and if at any time you are dissatisfied with my service or charges, you have a right to complain in accordance with the following procedure. 

1. My notarial practice is regulated through the Faculty Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury: 

The Faculty Office 1, The Sanctuary Westminster London SW1P 3JT 

Telephone 020 7222 5381 

Email Faculty.office@1thesanctuary.com 

Website www.facultyoffice.org.uk

2. If you are dissatisfied about the service you have received please do not hesitate to contact me. If we are unable to resolve the matter you may then complain to the Notaries Society of which I am a member, who have a Complaints Procedure which is approved by the Faculty Office. This procedure is free to use and is designed to provide a quick resolution to any dispute.

In that case please write (but do not enclose any original documents) with full details of your complaint to :

The Secretary of The Notaries Society P O Box 876 Chichester PO19 9ZH 

Email: secretary@thenotariessociety.org.uk 

If you have any difficulty in making a complaint in writing please do not hesitate to contact the Notaries Society/the Faculty Office for assistance. 

3. Finally, even if you have your complaint considered under the Notaries Society Approved Complaints Procedure, you may at the end of that procedure, or after a period of 8 weeks from the date you first notified me that you were dissatisfied, make your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman, if you are not happy with the result : 

Legal Ombudsman P O Box 6167 Slough SL1 0EH Tel : 0300 555 0333 Email : enquiries@legalombudsman.org.uk 

Website : www.legalombudsman.org.uk 

If you decide to make a complaint to the Legal Ombudsman, you must refer your matter to the Legal Ombudsman within one year from the act/omission or within one year from when you should reasonably have known there was cause for complaint.
