Notarised documents from a notary in the Seychelles

Many copies or transcripts can only be used legally in legal transactions once they have been certified by a notary, or in other words, notarially certified. Such notarisations by a notary confirm the authenticity of a document or a signature.

But what exactly is a notarial certification? On this page we explain what it means, how we arrange it in the Seychelles, and how your documents reach you afterwards.

What is a notarial certification?

Notarially certified documents confirm the authenticity of signatures and copies. The notary also certifies the authenticity of documents themselves.

By a certified copy, lawyers mean the identical reproduction of a document. If you want signatures to be notarised, it is best to have the signature certified directly by the notary.

A special feature of certification is that the notary only confirms the authenticity of the signature or the copy. The content of the declaration or the contract is not checked here for its legality. Comprehensive advice on the legal consequences of the documents is also not part of the notarial certification.
