Internationally recognised
Notary Public

Notaries public are recognised the world over as having the office and importance to witness signatures on documents where a professional witness is required. It is the only legal entity to be so recognised and as such, any documents witnessed by a notary public are accepted by courts, local land registies and others as having been executed by the signatory. We are professional lawyers and most practise other branches of law; I am a residential conveyancer with a firm of solicitors. Please look at my site to see if I can help or telephone to me.

| Just who or what are Notaries? Well the story goes back a very long way. They originated as scribes - Latin 'SCRIBAE' - literate clerks who took notes or minutes of important events and decisions and made copies both of Public and Private documents. We have to remember that widespread literacy is only a relatively recent phenomenon. The role can be traced back certainly to pre-Biblical times for example the ancient Egyptians and Greeks certainly employed notaries - though there is no record of what they were called, and over time the importance and value of official record keeping became more and more important and societies formalised their rules and decisions. | | |
