  Miguel at John Venn provided a very professional service in dealing with a very quick turnaround for Notarisation, Apostilisation and translation for legalisation of documents. Communication was immediately responsive and effective. Miguel's service included going beyond the normal in assisting me to achieve my urgent requirements. I would very strongly recommend John Venn.

  I was recommended to use Jonathan Coutts to assist with my transactions in Spain and I am very glad I did. He has been extremely helpful and efficient in producing two separate Powers of Attorney and obtaining Apostille legalisation for Spain. Thank you Jonathan for guiding me through this process.

  My brother and I needed to grant a power of attorney in London to be used in Argentina, ideally in Spanish, executed before a Notary Public and legalised with an Apostille. A colleague referred me to Miguel Ortiz, the Head of Translation at John Venn. I contacted him and he organised everything for us. John Venn took care of the whole process. All we had to do was turn up to sign. Excellent service, most efficient and reasonable prices.

  The translation services offered by John Venn & Sons Notaries are very effective and surprisingly fast. I really had a good experience with them.
Miguel has been particularly helpful and available, answering to my emails promptly. I would definitely contact the company again for translation and notary services.

  Miguel helped me with legalising and translating some documents. The communication was very quick and useful and Miguel was efficient with sorting my documents for me. Very friendly and would definitely recommend. The price for everything was also much more reasonable than other notaries I looked at to carry out the same services.
