What is a Notarial Certificate for Signed Documents?
This notarial certificate is used when a notary public witnesses and certifies the signing of a document. It confirms that the person signing appeared before the notary, was identified, and signed the document in the notary’s presence. It is commonly required for documents used in foreign jurisdictions or by institutions requiring notarized signatures.
When Would You Use This?
- Signing documents for use in a foreign country that requires notarization
- Certifying your signature on a power of attorney, contract, or legal agreement
- Required by a financial institution, embassy, or government agency
- Any document where the recipient requires proof of identity and witnessed signing
