Notary Public Services

IMG_3468Rossa McMahon was appointed a Notary Public for the county of Limerick by the Chief Justice, Mrs Justice Susan Denham, in 2013.

A Notary Public is a public officer who provides services to individuals which primarily related to international matters. These services usually involve:

  • Administering oaths
  • Attesting signatures
  • Authenticating documents
  • Taking affidavits (other than for the courts in Ireland), affirmations and declarations
  • Receiving and making protests under Mercantile Law and issuing notarial certificates in respect of documents and persons.
  • Drawing up Powers of Attorney and other legal documents

For most people, this will mean attending with a notary public to present documents which it is intended to use abroad.
