FAQ

Notarisation is the process whereby a Notary Public officially appointed by a state or Central government certifies a document. Usually, this is done by attaching a notarial certificate with the document. The notarial certificate contains statements of fact or law in relation to the document being certified. Our Notaries issue certificates in the English language.

A  signing agent is a Notary public who is legally authorized by a Central or State Government to administer oaths, witness the signing of documents, and deter fraud by verifying the identity of a person who signs a document. A lender, Corporate may hire a signing agent to handle & getting documents delivered, signed, or processed efficiently on time.

Yes, although we are sometimes able to accommodate walk in clients it is preferable to book an appointment in advance in order to ensure a Notary will be available to see you. This also allows us to ensure we have all necessary documents in advance and that the appointment is as brief as possible for you.

It is the duty of  Notary Public to properly identify his or her client. This requirement is laid down by our practice rules and legislation.
