HOW TO PROCEED
To provide you with the most convenient and hassle-free service, it is necessary to get in touch with Clara to outline your requirements and make an appointment. Clara will be in a position to advise if it is necessary to prepare what is known as a 'notarial certificate' or not.
Generally, Clara will need sight of the relevant documentation in advance of preparing any notarial certificates, including a current copy of a passport and/or driving licence and a utility bill dated within that last three months. Providing a scanned copy of the documentation ahead of meeting with Clara will conveniently allow for the preparation of all documents ahead of attesting, stamping and sealing. Please note that it is essential that you present originals of all documents, including the aforementioned identification documents, when meeting with Clara.
APOSTILLE
Depending on the nature of the business being conducted, what is known as an 'apostille' will be required to verify the authenticity of the notarial act completed by the Notary Public. An apostille is a certificate provided by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) for which they will usually charge you a fee of about €40. An apostille can be obtained at the Department of Foreign Affairs at 1A, South Mall, Cork - the Cork Passport Office.
When obtaining an apostille from the DFA you will be required to present the notarised documents and return to collect them some time later, usually on the same day. As part of her services, and for your convenience, Clara can also arrange for an apostille to be obtained.
