Provide correct information

Use correct Identification
Your notary will need to confirm your identity. Make sure your ID is up to date and that the name on it matches that on the document you wish to be notarised. A current passport is ideal.
Make sure you meet the requirements for specific documents
Different instruments such as deeds of property, a power of attorney or documents relating to a company may need witnessing or added certification. Make sure you have met the requirements. Your notary will be able to advise on this.
Check requirements for documents to be used overseas
If you are submitting documents to be used in another jurisdiction they may need to be certified in a different manner. Make sure your notary knows the country in which they are to be used to avoid issues.
Take your time
Do not rush the process and make sure you are well advised. Give yourself plenty of time for the process, as it may take longer than anticipated.
