Brunei: notarial and documentary services guide
Documents available at the British High Commission in Brunei.
Overview
The British High Commission in Brunei is unable to carry out notarial services as British consular officers in Commonwealth countries have no powers under the Commissioners for Oaths Act 1889 to undertake notarial acts, administer oaths or take affidavits which will be effectual in the United Kingdom.
You should contact a local notary or commissioner for oaths.
A standard letter is available for download to confirm we do not offer these services in Brunei; there is no charge for this letter.
The UK doesn’t issue certificates of no impediment (CNI) for marriages in Commonwealth countries. You’ll need to explain this if you’re asked to provide a CNI or a similar document to prove you’re allowed to marry.
An information note is available for download to confirm we do not issue certificates of no impediment (CNI) for marriages in Brunei; there is no charge for this letter.
