How Much Does a Public Notary Cost?
Our notarial fees are generally charged in accordance with the recommended scale of fees published by the NSW Society of Public Notaries.
The cost will depend on the type and number of documents requiring notarisation. If your matter falls outside the recommended scale or requires additional work, we will discuss any applicable fees with you before proceeding.
For more information about notarial fees, please refer to the NSW Society of Public Notaries' recommended fee schedule.
Your Appointment
To ensure your appointment runs smoothly, we ask that you provide a copy of the documents requiring notarisation, together with a copy of your passport and driver's licence prior to your appointment.
At your appointment, you will need to bring the original documents along with your original identification.
If you are unsure whether a document requires notarisation or authentication, our team can discuss your requirements and guide you through the process before your appointment.
