Notary Public and Notarial Services Defined

Notary Public is a legally appointed official authorised to authenticate and certify certain documents and transactions. Their role is to act as an impartial witness, ensuring that documents are properly executed, that the identities of the parties are verified, and that the contents carry legal credibility. In South Africa, notaries are qualified attorneys who have passed a specialised notarial examination and are admitted by the High Court.

 

Notarial Services refer to the formal legal functions performed by a notary public. These services involve the preparation, authentication, certification, and registration of documents that require a higher level of legal validity and evidentiary weight.
