Watkins Tapsell PUBLIC NOTARY
What Is a Public Notary?
A public notary is a legal professional, often a practising solicitor in Sydney, who is appointed by the Supreme Court to witness, certify, and verify documents for international use. Unlike a Justice of the Peace (JP), whose powers are limited within Australia, a public notary in Sydney has statutory authority to authenticate documents that are recognised internationally.
At Watkins Tapsell, our public notary lawyer provides reliable and legally compliant services to individuals, businesses, and organisations needing document verification for overseas transactions.
