What is a Notary Public?

A Notary Public, also known as a Public Notary, is a legal professional appointed by the New South Wales Supreme Court. They have the authority to administer oaths, witness signatures on documents, and authenticate legal documents for use both in Australia and internationally.

You may need the services of a Notary Public when you have Australian personal or business documents that need to be used overseas. These documents must go through a process of legalisation or notarisation to ensure their validity and acceptance in foreign countries.

Services Provided by a Notary Public

A Notary Public in Sydney can provide a wide range of services to meet your legal needs. Some of the key services they offer include:

Notarising Official and Personal Documents

A Notary Public can notarise various types of documents, including government forms, personal documents, and business contracts. By notarising these documents, the Notary Public verifies their authenticity and ensures they meet the legal requirements for use in foreign jurisdictions.

Verifying Identity and Visa Status

If you need to prove your identity or visa status for international purposes, a Notary Public can assist you. They have the authority to verify your identity and provide the necessary certification for official use.

Witnessing Signatures on Documents

A Notary Public can witness the signing of important legal documents such as Statutory Declarations, Affidavits, and Powers of Attorney. Their presence and certification add credibility and legal validity to these documents.

Certifying True Copies of Original Documents

In some cases, you may need certified true copies of original documents for use overseas. A Notary Public can review the original documents and provide certified copies that meet the required standards.
