Notary Public Services

If you find yourself requiring the services of a Notary Public Hozack Clisdell can assist.

A Notary Public, Public Notary, and Notary are various descriptions of the same profession.  In NSW, A Notary Public is a practising solicitor (with a minimum of five(5) years practising experience), who is appointed for life by the NSW Supreme Court, and given statutory powers to witness documents, administer oaths, and perform other wide-ranging administrative functions of a national and international nature.

A Notary Public not only takes oaths, signs and witnesses documents for use within Australia, but also performs similar functions in respect of international documents.

All Notaries' seals and signatures are officially recorded in a data base held the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), a government department authorised to issue Apostille or Authentication Certificates authenticating the signatures, seals or stamps of Notaries on Australian public documents.

Hozack Clisdell can also offer Apostille and Legalising Service including obtaining certified translations, Apostilles from DFAT and arranging legalising of documents from the relevant embassy or consulate.
