FAQs
1. What documents commonly need notarization in Kenya? Affidavits, powers of attorney, statutory declarations, and documents destined for use in a foreign country are the most common.
2. Is a notary public the same as a commissioner for oaths? They're related but distinct roles; a notary public authenticates documents for international use, while a commissioner for oaths administers oaths locally, and many advocates hold both designations.
3. How quickly can a document be notarized? Simple notarizations are often completed same-day, sometimes within hours if the document is already prepared.
4. Do I need to be physically present for notarization? Yes, in most cases the signatory must appear in person so the notary can verify identity and witness the signature.
5. Can a notarized document be used in another country? Often yes, though some countries also require further authentication or an apostille depending on international agreements in place.
6. What identification is needed for notarization? A valid national ID or passport is typically required to confirm identity before a document can be notarized.
