Key Functions of a Notary Public

The duties of a Notary Public are to all parties to the transaction.

Witnessing signatures

Documents required for international purposes often stipulate the requirement for a Notary Public to act as the witness. For example, a Notary acts as a witness to: Power of Attorney; an international contract; a sworn Affidavit.

Authentification of documentation

A Notary Public has a professional duty to verify the identity of the individuals, before they sign in the presence of a Notary. Further, the legal attestation of the Notary confirms that the document was signed voluntarily (without duress) and with full understanding & capacity.

Certifying documentation

Often the role of a Notary Public is to complete a notarial certificate to certify that a true copy of an original document.

A notarial act, with the signature, seal and stamp of the Notary can be sent to the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office for legalisation Apostille.

Affidavits and Statutory Declarations

Notary Publics are used for international purposes and foreign transactions, completing notarisation of documentation, to assist foreign recipients with the authentication of documentation by an individual, or a authorised person appointed by a business.

What Clients Say

I found Ellen to be a hardworking, competent and diligent solicitor when she worked for my firm. Her qualities as a solicitor will stand her in good stead for her professional practice as a notary public.

I have instructed Ellen to assist me twice, and on both occasions she promptly performed the tasks. She kept me informed by providing me with an update on the progression of each matter, which was very helpful. I shall instruct Ellen for assistance with notarial services in the future.

Ellen has provided assistance with my international business affairs. At the outset she researched the requirements of the instruction, then gave an outline of the work and timescale involved. She makes pragmatic suggestions and carries out various enquiries, to ensure that the transaction works. Ellen delivers a comprehensive and professional service.
