Notary Public
 

What the hell are they???

Is it just a general term that covers JP's Solicitors etc, or are there any other positions that fall into the Notary Public category?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

Thats great, thanks.

Do you know if they have an equivalent of the Notary Publics in Australia?

Notary Public are found only in Commonwealth countries, ie ex-British colony like OZ, Malaysia, Singapore etc.

In some countries, some very senior lawyers are also Notary Public.

We had to have original documents copied & signed by a "notary public". Cost an arm and a leg :( .

He explained he specialised in Oz and a Ukrain. He has to sign Ukraine documents in red only, then sew the documents together a certain way!

It seems each country has their own way for original documetns to be verified [Oz=seal, dated & wax] and to do this you need a "Notary Public" [apparently not same as an ordinary solicitor].

Hope this helps:)
