Notary & Affidavit Services
Walk-in notarisation and standard affidavits at either office.
Standard notarisation and common affidavits are quoted at the time of the visit. Complex or multi-page evidentiary affidavits are quoted separately.
Walk-in notarisation
As a licensed Notary Public, we notarise affidavits, declarations, attestations and true copies. A notary's signature and seal carry professional liability. A legally accountable person has verified the execution, which is something a self-drafted or AI-generated document cannot provide.
Standard affidavits
Common affidavits, such as name change, address proof, date-of-birth declarations, and gap certificates, are drafted and notarised on the same visit in most cases.
Documents typically required
- Original identity proof of the deponent
- Details / supporting papers relevant to the affidavit
- Stamp paper of the correct denomination (we can advise)
Common questions
Notarisation is a notary witnessing and certifying a signature or a true copy. Registration is a separate government process that records a document (like a sale deed or a long-term lease) as part of the public record. Many documents only need one or the other, not both.
A properly notarised affidavit is a sworn statement carrying legal weight, since the deponent has affirmed its contents under oath before a licensed notary. Its evidentiary strength in a specific matter still depends on the facts and context it's being used for.
Only someone specifically appointed as a Notary Public under the Notaries Act can notarise a document. Being an advocate alone does not carry notarial authority; the two are separate appointments.
