What is Notary Public Certification?
Notary Public certification is a formal legal process where a registered Notary verifies, certifies, or witnesses documents to confirm their authenticity. This step is often required before documents can proceed to further legalisation, including Apostille or embassy authentication through the
Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO).
Once notarised, your documents are recognised as legally valid and can be submitted for international use where required.
