Once signed the Notary completes a certificate on or attached to the document confirming that you have been identified, understood what you are signing and signed in front of the Notary. That certificate is completed by the Notary adding their signature, a stamp identifying them and embossing their seal of office.

We are certifying as to your identity, understanding and signature, not the content of the document. A translation to English is accordingly not necessary in the case of foreign language documents.

As a requirement of the Notarial Act we have to keep a copy of the document and certificate along with a copy of the ID used. These are stored by us electronically.
