Sometimes you’ll need more than just your documents
Notarial Services are not something you need every day. In fact you might not be aware of them until a particular set of circumstances arise. For example, you could be buying property abroad, or possibly need to provide evidence of your qualifications to a company overseas. In those situations the documents in question will need to be legally verified by a Notary Public.
The Seal of Authority
Only a fully registered and enrolled Notary Public can provide the necessary seal of authentication. But, it is about much more than a seal, the Notary Public will:-
- Check the authenticity of documents direct with the issuing body
- Certify copies of those documents
- Check your identity to satisfy the overseas lawyers or receiving authority
- Ensure that you fully understand the nature of any documents you are asked to sign, and that you wish to enter into the related transaction
- Witness and verify your signature
- Sign and seal documents
- Produce a certificate setting out exactly what has been established, witnessed or verified
- Obtain official verification of his own bona fides from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office or from the receiving country’s embassy
- Arrange recorded or courier delivery overseas if required
- Maintain and keep indefinitely copies of any documents and a record of the events which have been dealt with
