Office hours: 8.00am to 1.00pm Monday to Friday
An appointment is not necessary, but it is advisable you telephone early on the day you wish to visit our office to confirm
our notary’s availability.
Our notary makes outside office visits within the Sydney CBD and the Sydney Metropolitan area between 1.00pm -2.30pm Monday to Friday to assist those who find it impossible or difficult to travel, or leave their office, workplace or home, preferring the convenience of a personal attendance.
We cordially invite busy company directors, executives and their senior employees to make use of our mobile notary services.
We charge an additional fee for outside office attendances: an amount negotiable when making your appointment.
On all our notary attendances, documents which need to have signatures witnessed are signed as well as impressed with our Public Notary's identifying red seal. On most occasions when foreign language documents require signatures to be witnessed, an interpreter is not necessary if the signing party convinces our Notary that the document is fully understood and unconditionally approved.
It's important to note that a current identity document displaying a recent head and shoulder photograph and signature, such as a passport or driver's licence, must be produced at the time of attendance upon our notary as proof of the signatory’s identity.
Notaries Public may loosely be described as “International Justices of the Peace (JP’s)", but perform far more important duties than do JP’s: in NSW, a JP is simply permitted to take oaths, declarations and certify copies of documents for use within NSW, whereas a Notary Public is authorised by law to perform these useful functions in respect of international documents.
It is important to note that documents required for use overseas may only be witnessed or certified by a Notary Public (not a Justice of the Peace). An Apostille Certificate or Authentication Certificate will not issue if signed or certified by a Justice of the Peace.
Only a solicitor or barrister whose name has been on the roll of the Supreme Court of NSW for at least five (5) years, and who holds a current solicitors or barristers practising Certificate, may be appointed a Notary Public in NSW.
