What is Notarisation? When do I need a Notary Public?
Notarisation is a formal procedure for what the Notary states and certifies which will be relied upon and recognised throughout the world.
The primary work of a notary public is to prepare documents; to formally witness the execution of documents; to authenticate the contents of documents and to administer oaths and declarations. By this process the Notary attempts to make the document acceptable to and therefore receivable by foreign jurisdictions.
The most common tasks are:
- Preparing and witnessing Powers of Attorney for use overseas
- Dealing with purchase or sale of land and property abroad
- Providing documents to deal with the administration of the estates of people who are abroad, or owning property abroad
- Authenticating personal documents and information for immigration or emigration purposes, or to apply to marry or to work abroad
- Authenticating company and business documents and transactions
- Affidavits, Oaths and Declarations
- Consent forms for minors to travel abroad
- Change of Name documents or Deed Polls
- Sponsorship Forms
- Polices documents, CRB checks
- Proof of Life forms
- Certifying all documents
- Legalisation at the Foreign Commonwealth Office and other Embassies and Consulates
