Director & Notary Public

Notaries must verify for each client their identity, legal capacity and understanding of the document, as well as their authority if signing on behalf of another party, such as a limited company.

The Notary’s Certificate is generally accepted as proof without need for further evidence of an act or as authentication of a document. A Notary therefore has a duty, not only to clients, but also to the receiving jurisdiction and other parties that may be involved in any legal transaction.  On occasion, it may be necessary for obtain proof of the authority of the Notary to act.

It is often a requirement of a receiving jurisdiction that a Notary’s signature is itself authenticated by the country receiving the document. There are two methods for doing this; Legalisation or the Apostille process.
