Your Appointment
What you will need to bring with you for the appointment.
This is not a mere rubber-stamping exercise. The international duty of a notary involves a high standard of care, not only towards you as the client but particularly to the transaction itself, as well as towards other parties, and governments or officials of other countries. This is because they are intended, and are entitled (1) to assume that a notary will ensure due compliance with the relevant requirements at home and abroad, whether or not specifically requested to do so, and (2) to rely on the notary’s register and records thereof. Vigilance is essential at every stage to minimise the risks of errors, omissions, alterations, fraud, forgery, impersonation and money laundering.
What you will need
-
Unless we have previously received them, the documents require our signature and seal. If you are bringing them with you please do not sign them before the appointment.
