Types of Notarials

Acknowledgement

An Acknowledgement of Execution is used for legal agreements, deeds, powers of attorney, bills of sale, business documents, corporate acknowledgements, etc. for use in the United States.

Affidavit

An Affidavit is a sworn statement, made by you. Write out the statement you wish to make, but do not sign the form.

For us to notarize your documents, you must:

• have a government-issued photo ID, e.g. a passport;

• understand your document, as we are not allowed to explain the contents to you;

• have filled in the document with the appropriate names, places and dates, but don't sign it; you'll sign it at the Embassy or Consulate in front of the notary.

Certified Photocopy

Please bring the original document with you.

Fees

The fee is $ 30 USD cash for the first notarization on a given day and $ 20 USD for each subsequent notarization DEALING WITH THE SAME SUBJECT OR TRANSACTION on the same day.

Authentication

We cannot authenticate U.S. documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, death certificates, etc. Under the Hague Convention, an Apostille by a U.S. clerk of court of a State Secretary or State certifies the authenticity of a U.S. document.  Please go here for a list of U.S. Authorities that issue Apostilles. For more information about the Hague Convention, including a list of signatory nations, please go to the State Department's "What is an Apostille?" webpage.

Signature Guarantees

U.S. banks or mutual fund companies often require signature guarantees. Unfortunately, we cannot legally perform a signature guarantee. Please check with your bank or stock company, here or in the U.S., for additional information.
