Types of Notarial Certification / Documents
Our Notaries can deal with the following types of notarial certification and documents for individuals and for companies:
- Powers of Attorney for worldwide use
- Normally the document will be drawn up by your lawyer or notary in the relevant overseas jurisdiction, and this is what we recommend.We cannot generally advise on foreign law. If you require us to prepare a Power of Attorney for your use then we will do so and prepare a standard form document for you, but this is fully at your own risk. If the document is then unacceptable to the receiving jurisdiction then you will of course incur additional expense, as well as delay, in asking either us, or an overseas lawyer to draw up another document, so it is best to get it right the first time.

- Statutory Declarations / Affidavits, Sworn Statements, and Depositions for use at home and abroad
- A Statutory Declaration is a legal document, and is used to provide documentary evidence used to prove something to be true for the purposes of satisfying a legal requirement or regulation, where no other evidence is available. An Affidavit is a very similar document. It is a sworn document, and is often used in legal proceedings. We can prepare the Statutory Declaration and Affidavit for you and therewith notarise them for you.

- University Certificate and School Qualification Verifications
- Firstly, the Notary can simply photocopy each certificate and prepare a notarial certificate to state:-
1. That the original educational certificate(s) have been produced to him or her by the Appearer on the date in question
2. The Notary has verified the identity of the Appearer.
3. That the Notary has seen the original of such certificate(s), but that the Notary has not verified that the certificate(s) are genuine.
4. Or secondly, if the receiving jurisdiction requires that the Notary verifies that the certificates are genuine then he or she can do this. We will need to write to/contact each organisation that issued the certificate
5. and obtain their written confirmation that the certificate is genuine. The educational establishment, or examination body, often require specific forms to be completed and signed by the client with a payment of their fee. The process varies from organisation to organisation. This type of certification can sometimes take several weeks to complete (depending on the number of certificates, and formalities required by the organisation). We have to charge for such work on a time spent basis at the hourly rate of our Notary.
