What is a Notary Public
A Notary Public is a public officer, appointed in Ireland by the Chief Justice, constituted to serve the public in non-contentious matters usually concerned with foreign or international business.
The Notary’s official acts are executed under their official seal and signature. The acts of Notaries Public have worldwide recognition. The Notary’s signature on certain documents, alone on certain documents may suffice.
There is no set fee for Notarial services. The Notary will charge a proper professional fee that reflects the cost of the Notary’s services in terms of time, skill and responsibility, similar to other professional service providers
