What does a Notary do?

A Notary Public authenticates documents under signature and official seal so as to make them acceptable to the Judicial and other public authorities in the country in which they are to be used.

The most common tasks are:

  • Preparing and witnessing Power of Attorney for use overseas
  • Dealing with the documents for purchase, sale or management of land and property abroad
  • Authenticating personal documents and information for immigration or emigration purposes, or to apply to marry or work abroad
  • Authenticating company and business documents and transactions
