Seems you are doubtful about the use of the words 'notify' and 'consult'. Yes, you can use 'notify' in the first sentence, and 'consult' in the second.
Of course you can also use 'tell' instead of 'notify' if you are talking to somebody(「口語」而非「書寫語」 ). But then, if you want to stress the idea of 'to inform' (通知 ), it is perfectly alright to use the more formal word 'notify' in conversation.
As for 'consult', we often use it along with 'dictionary'--- to consult a dictionary (查閱字典).
