Notary Public Services - When do you need a Notary?

What is a Notary?  Find an answer to that question either at Notary Services Qld or on our firm website Family Lawyers and Mediation Services.

Our notarial services include:  Attestation of documents and certification of their due execution for use in Australia and internationally for both companies and private individuals:  Witnessing affidavits, statutory declarations, powers of attorney, contracts, international Wills and other documents for use in Australia and internationally

• Certification of copy documents for use in Australia and internationally
• Certification of original documents for production overseas 
• Preparation and certification of powers of attorney, wills, deeds, contracts and other legal documents for use internationally
• Preparation of Life Certificates
• Acknowledgements for use in the USA
• Administering of oaths for use in Australia and internationally
• Exemplification of official documents for use internationally
• Preparation of ships' protests
• Noting and protesting of bills of exchange

So if you need documents to be witnessed or certified for use overseas you need a Notary Public.  Justices of the Peace, Commissioners for Declarations or solicitors cannot fulfill the function of a Notary Public.  Notary Publics in Queensland are Senior Solicitors and charge fees for their services.
