Notarial Act
A notarial act is an instrument in writing recording the due execution of a deed, contract or other writing, or verifying some fact or thing that has been done, and it is authenticated by the Notary’s signature and an official seal. It either certifies the due execution in the Notary’s presence of a deed, contract or other writing or it verifies some fact or thing of which the Notary has certain knowledge.
Phillip can provide notarial services to individuals and corporate entities in NSW for use in different countries.
Examples of documents often notarized include but are not limited to:
- Education documents
- Foreign language documents
- Passports, visas and Australian government documents
- Statutory declarations, affidavits, affirmations
- Electronic documents
- Powers of Attorney
- Certifying true copies of original documents
- Notarising signatures and certifying executions or signing of documents
- Relationship Registration documents
We also assist with apostille and authentications: preparing and submitting an application to DFAT (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade) for Apostille or Authentication, obtaining Apostille or Authentication and providing the same to the client or as directed.
An apostille is a certificate that verifies the authenticity of a document's signature, seal, or stamp. It's used to legalize documents so they can be recognized internationally. Most documents must be notarized before they can be apostilled.
