CommercialNotarial
IN BRIEF
Kate Mayor, a member here at Vertex Law, is a qualified Notary Public and specialises in providing a fast, efficient and friendly notarial service, to both companies and individuals. Notaries are mainly concerned with foreign matters and with the verification of documents and information that will be used in foreign countries. The duty and the function of a notary is to prepare, authenticate and certify deeds and other documents for use overseas or in foreign courts.
IN DETAIL
Here are a few of the questions we often get asked about notarial services.
What should I bring with me?
Under current legislation we are required to obtain proof of a client's identity. At least two forms of identification are required, one of which should carry a photograph of yourself and the other should bear your current home address (for example, your passport, driving licence, birth certificate, a utility bill (less than three months old) or a bank or mortgage statement (less than three months old).
For corporate clients, we require some additional identification to establish that the company or organisation which you represent actually exists and that you are authorised to represent it. We require the company’s registration number and a certified copy of your company’s board minute authorising you to sign on the company’s behalf.
Will I need to meet with the Notary?
You will need to meet with Kate. Notarisation means that a notary has witnessed your signature, therefore, you must attend and sign the paperwork in front of Kate.
General things to consider
- Before meeting Kate, please ensure that you have read carefully through all the documents that you are planning to have notarised. Ensure that your full name appears on the documents, as it appears on your passport, and that there is no missing information.
- Make sure that you bring the whole complete document, including any attachments required and along with any special instructions on how the documents should be signed or witnessed.
- Check how many of each original document you will require and do not sign before meeting with Kate, as she will need to witness your signature.
