WHAT DOES A NOTARY PUBLIC DO?

A notary’s function is to act as a bridge between the Nigeria legal system and other foreign systems of law so that your documents can be used in a foreign country through a mechanism called legalisation.
A Notary’s role is to verify (or authenticate) legal documents for use abroad. He has to check the identity, capacity and authority of the person signing documents as well.
All notarial work is regulated by the Supreme Court of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The best standards of confidentiality and presentation are offered. The notarial practice is covered by professional indemnity insurance.
