Notarial and documentary services guide for Cuba
Documents, certificates, letters and notes available at the British Consulate in Havana.
Overview
The consulate at the British Embassy in Havana can provide a range of notarial and documentary services for British nationals in Cuba.
Where local notaries can provide services, the British consulate will not provide them. In many cases local notaries or lawyers can provide services more cheaply, quickly and conveniently.
You must make an appointment for each service that requires your personal attendance. Use the links after each service to make an appointment. A member of staff will contact you to confirm your appointment.
Refunds of consular fees are not given for certificates or notarial services that are not accepted by the requesting authority. Fees for consular certificates and documents are paid at the consulate on the day of the appointment and can be paid by credit card, debit card or in cash.
