Phang Legal provides the services of a Notary Public.
The concept of 'notarise' has different meanings in different countries, and so we encourage you to question why you require the services of a notary public. Even if you have been asked to have your documents notarised, your documents may only require certification from a Justice of the Peace or another suitably qualified person.
If you must send your documents overseas, then you probably need them to be signed or certified by a notary public. When searching for a notary public, you may also use the terms 'notary', 'notaries public' or 'public notary'.
If you are unsure of what is required, you should ask whoever requested you to obtain notarial services (ie, to have your document notarised). Preferably your foreign lawyer who prepared your documents will provide you with written instructions.
