NOTARY PUBLIC
Marieann Duncan is the Notary Public at M Duncan and Associates. Sometimes you will require proof that a document was signed by you or that it is a true copy of the original. In Australia this can be done by a solicitor or a Justice of the Peace. However, when documents relate to a foreign jurisdiction, a higher authority is required. Notaries are Legal Practitioners appointed by the Supreme Court for the purpose of facilitating private or public international law requirements. Notaries are able to administer oaths, witness signatures, verify copies (as true copies of the originals) and issue Notarial certificates. Call us for your notarial services, we are conveniently located a 15 minute walk from DFAT if you need an authentication or apostille.

Here is a checklist of things to know for your appointment:
  • We must see original identification documents such as a passport or driver licence if the Notary needs to identify you
  • We must see the original documents if the Notary is being asked to certify copy documents.
  • We must meet with and properly identify a person to notarise their signature.
  • We must verify information when we need to identify corporations or other entities.
  • We do charge in accordance with the scale set by the NSW Attorney General's office. Notaries and solicitors, unlike Justices of the Peace, take an insurable risk in their work including signing documents.
