A Notary Public, Public Notary or Notary are all descriptions of a public officer, usually a practising solicitor or attorney, who is appointed for life by a State Supreme Court and given statutory powers to: 

​

• Witness Signatures to international documents, such as Powers of Attorney, Affidavits, Deeds, Agreements and all other commercial and private documents required for use overseas.

​

• Certify Documents including original ASIC, business, personal or educational documents required for use in overseas countries.

​

• Draft Notarial Certificates attaching multiple copied documents thereto to diminish the cost of notarising copied documents individually.

​

• Obtain Apostille Certificates from the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade (DFAT) certifying the seals and signatures of Notaries.

​

• Arrange Legalisation or Authentication of original Australian public documents at foreign Embassies or Consulates in Australia, for countries not members of the Hague Convention.
