What Notarization Can Cover
A notary public can witness signatures on documents that require formal verification. This is often needed for overseas submissions, business records, and other documents that must be accepted by a receiving authority.
Certified true copies are commonly requested when an original document cannot be submitted. The notary compares the copy with the original and certifies that it is a true copy, subject to the applicable rules and document type.
Clear steps for documents that need formal witnessing or certification.
For personal, business, and cross-border use, notarization helps confirm signatures, certify copies, and support sworn declarations.
Affidavits and statutory declarations are sworn or affirmed statements used in many legal and administrative processes. The notarial process helps ensure the document is properly executed before it is presented for use.
Before attending, check whether your document needs notarization, certification, or an additional legalization step. Requirements can differ depending on the destination country, the receiving institution, and the purpose of the document.
