Notary Public Services
Apostille-ready notarial authentication for personal, corporate, and academic documents in Abuja and Owerri.
A Notary Public is a senior legal practitioner appointed by the Court of Appeal to authenticate documents for use in legal proceedings and official transactions in Nigeria and abroad. Notarial authentication provides documentary assurance that documents are genuine, properly executed, and signed by the person who claims to have signed them.
The firm provides notarial services from both the Abuja and Owerri offices — including authentication of personal documents, corporate instruments, academic certificates, powers of attorney, affidavits, and statutory declarations. Where documents are required for use in countries that are party to the Hague Apostille Convention, we coordinate apostille certification.
For businesses with regular notarial documentation needs — corporate instruments that require authentication on an ongoing basis — the firm provides structured ongoing notarial support rather than requiring a new instruction for each document.
Notarial services from a firm led by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria carry additional institutional credibility in jurisdictions that recognise the SAN designation. For documents going to foreign courts, embassies, or legal proceedings outside Nigeria, the standing of the authenticating firm matters.
