At findmyNotary we love reviews. Our online platform allows any UK Notary Public to be reviewed in just a few clicks. We know online reviews are a great tool to help consumers and businesses make the right choice when searching for a Notary. Research undertaken in 2016 by the CMA identified over 50% of UK households use online reviews when selecting services. Reviews also provide our dedicated Notary Associates the opportunity to get recognition for the high quality services we hope they deliver day-to-day. We are always conscious online reviews work best when they are entirely open, honest and fair.
Therefore at findmyNotary we follow the CMA & CAP Code guidance, to ensure the reviews on our platform are open, honest and fair. Below are our findmyNotary Do’s & Don’ts guide to reviews:
