Easier access to notarial services for British Nationals in Macao

The consular team in the British Consulate-General Hong Kong will change how they offer notarial services in Macao to make the process more convenient. At present, British Nationals in Macao are obliged to make an appointment to visit the British Consulate-General in Hong Kong in person to present the necessary original documents and receive the final stamped document they require.

In the future, the final part of the process will be performed in Macao by our Honorary Consul, Dr Glenn McCartney MBE.

As of 9 April 2018, British Nationals in Macao should consult the guidance and contact the British Consulate General Hong Kong to request a notarial service.

Consulate staff will reply within three working days. If Consulate staff agree that we can provide the service requested, they will take payment online and subsequently pass customers’ details to our Honorary Consul in Macao, who will contact you within three working days to arrange an appointment. At this meeting, customers should present the original documents related to the service you need, whereupon he will perform the act required.

Honorary Consul Dr Glenn McCartney said:

I am delighted to be able to extend the duties I perform in Macao to include offering notarial services to British Nationals living and working in Macao.
