Life doesn't always give you advance warning. Here are the most common situations where our same day notary service saves the day.
You've just been told you need notarised documents before you can travel — a power of attorney, a consent letter for a minor travelling abroad, or documents for a foreign embassy. Your flight leaves tomorrow morning. Don't panic. We handle last-minute travel document notarisations every week. Call us now and we'll get your documents ready before you leave Cork.
A deal is closing today and the contract needs notarisation before the wire can be sent. Corporate resolutions, shareholder agreements, or international business documents that need a notarial seal immediately. Time-sensitive business transactions are one of the most common reasons clients need our emergency service. Hugh Phelan understands business urgency and will prioritise your documents accordingly.
Your solicitor has just informed you that the closing date for your property purchase is tomorrow, and you need documents notarised for a foreign lender or overseas co-owner. Property transactions involving international elements frequently require urgent notarial services. With over 20 years' experience in property and conveyancing matters, Hugh Phelan can handle these complex documents efficiently, even under tight deadlines.
Your visa appointment is tomorrow and you've just realised your documents need to be notarised first. Embassy and consulate requirements can catch people off guard — they often require notarised copies of passports, degrees, birth certificates, or sworn statements. Our same day service ensures you meet your embassy deadline without rescheduling.
A family member abroad is ill and you need a notarised power of attorney to act on their behalf. Or you need to notarise consent documents urgently for a medical procedure overseas. These are among the most stressful situations our clients face, and we treat them with the urgency and sensitivity they deserve. Call us immediately — we will do everything we can to accommodate you.
You have a court deadline approaching and need affidavits or statutory declarations notarised before filing. Legal deadlines are absolute — missing them can have serious consequences for your case. As a practising solicitor and notary public, Hugh Phelan understands the legal system intimately and can prepare and notarise your documents with the precision and speed required.
We've streamlined our emergency process to get you in and out as quickly as possible.

Tip: Even 5 minutes' notice by phone helps us prepare
Follow these steps to make your emergency notary visit as smooth and fast as possible.
The moment you know you need urgent notarisation, pick up the phone. Call our office at (021) 489 7134 during office hours or our urgent mobile line at 086 390 7815. The sooner you call, the more likely we can fit you in today. Explain your situation clearly — what documents you have, what they're for, and when you need them by.
While waiting for your appointment, gather everything you'll need. Bring your valid photo ID (passport is best), the original documents requiring notarisation, and any supporting documents. If you're unsure what's needed, we'll advise you over the phone. Missing documents are the number one cause of delays — so double-check our checklist page before you leave.
