We do get requests from foreign lawyers, banks or agencies (recipient) who have received our notarised documents, but wish to verify with us if the notary service was actually provided and/or the authenticity of the appointment of the Notary Public. Usually, upon our clients having received our notarised documents, the notarial services have been duly completed and concluded. We do assist in such response from time to time.
Time & Cost Involved #
Recipient’s request for verification will incur our time, effort and expense in:
- Review and perusing the request (eg. in the form of an email, phone call or fax)
- Checking our archive documents for the relevant document
- Preparation of a response to the request, either by way of an email, fax, phone or letter
