Certifications
Signature certification
A notary certifies that the signature on your document is genuinely yours – for powers of attorney, bank forms, declarations and contracts used abroad.
Signing with the notary20 hours – 3 days
Upload the document you need to sign and tell us where it will be used. The notary identifies you and certifies your signature; where the document is for use abroad, the apostille or legalisation is added in the same order. Every application is reviewed by the notary, who decides the appropriate route for your document and destination; if a request cannot be fulfilled, we tell you before you pay.
Good to know: The notary identifies you and witnesses the signature; we prepare the file and schedule the signing.
