AWD Law provides notarial services related to foreign and local matters. In its dealings with its clients, the practice strives to deliver a first-rate service, supported by its track record of dedicated customer service.
A notary public is authorised by statute to administer oaths and declarations. We also draft affidavits and declarations to our clients’ instructions.
A Notary Public is an attorney who is qualified to prepare and witness certain types of specialised documents such as
- Antenuptial Contracts for couples before they get married
- International documents
- Deeds for registration in various public offices
- Ante-nuptial contracts
- Powers of attorney
- The administering of oaths
- Witnessing signatures on affidavits
- Statutory declarations
- The certification of copied documents.
Unlike a Commissioner of Oaths, a Notary Lawyer is in a position to witness a document signed in front of him.
A Notary Public attests, certifies, signs and seals the following documents most frequently:
- Powers of Attorney: giving someone authority to act on another’s behalf
- Certifying documents as true copies for use abroad: e.g. birth certificate
- Affidavits and Declarations documents required for use as evidence in court.
- Authenticating personal documents and information for immigration or emigration purposes.
If you represent a company or other organisation we will investigate your authority. In some cases we may ask you to produce certain documents, such as a certificate of incorporation or good standing. A board resolution or power of attorney may also be required.
