Our founder, Dinesh Sadhwani, was appointed as a notary public under the Notaries Public Act 1959 of Malaysia in September 2023. Below are some frequently-asked-questions on our notarial services. If you have a question which is not covered here or require any clarification, please contact us.

What functions can a Malaysian notary perform?
A Malaysian notary can, amongst others, attest to signatures of, or certify, documents for use outside Malaysia.

Can you review or advise us on the contents of the document to be notarised?
No, this is not the function of a notary. Before seeking our notarisation services, please ensure that the document satisfies the requirements of the relevant foreign law or party.

Can I walk-in or is an appointment required?
Appointments are required. Please contact us with reasonable advance notice to schedule an appointment. We are unfortunately unable to accomodate walk-ins.

Can you attest to a signature on a document if the purported signatory is not personally present?
No. We require the signatory to be personally present and sign the document before us.

Can the notarisation be conducted remotely or digitally?
No. It has to be done in person.

Can you certify a document without sighting the original document?
No. We do need to sight the original. If the actual document (e.g. bank statement or utility bill) is only available in a digital form, we will need to sight the document in its digital form vide your phone, laptop or tablet.

What information or documents do you require to attend to a notarisation?
We will need to know the purpose or use of the document to be notarised and country of use. Please bring your original identification document (e.g. identity card or passport). For certified true copy services, please also bring both the original and sufficient required copies of the document. For attestation services, please also bring sufficient required copies of the document. We recommend that additional copies be brought as a back-up measure. We are unfortunately unable to assist with printing or photocopying. The foregoing is non-exhaustive and we may require additional information and documents.

Are you entitled to decline to provide your services after our appointment is confirmed?
Yes, we are. We reserve the right to decline to provide our services at our sole and absolute discretion, including if inaccurate or incomplete information has been provided to us, the signatory is not personally present or the original document is not produced.

Do you provide the services outside your office, on weekends or public holidays or outside office hours?
It depends on various factors, including the location and our availability. As for the charges, please see below.

What are your fees? Are there additional charges for attendances outside your office, on weekends or public holidays or outside office hours?
Notarial fees are prescribed by the relevant subsidary legislation under the Notaries Public Act 1959. The fees will vary depending on, amongst others, the following:
- the type of document in question and notarial service required (for example, attesting to the signature of a statutory declaration / affidavit or certifying an identification document).
- any additional requirements (with / without seal and with / without notarial certificate).
- number of copies required.
Yes, we reserve the right to impose additional fees for attendances outside our office, on weekends or public holidays or outside office hours.

What types of payment do you accept?
Payment may be made either by instant bank transfer or cash. We are unfortunately unable to accept other forms of payment (e.g. cheques, credit cards or electronic wallet).
