Notary KathmanduMarch 28, 2025

Planning to study, work, settle, or do business abroad? You’re not alone. With thousands of Nepalis preparing documents for embassies, universities, immigration offices, and global employers every year, the demand for certified, accurate, and legally accepted paperwork is skyrocketing. What many don’t realize, though, is that document rejection often happens due to improper notarization or uncertified translation.

Let’s fix that. In this guide, we’ll explain how to get your documents notarized and translated in Nepal for international use the right way—quickly, legally, and confidently.


Why Notarization and Translation Matter Globally

If you're submitting documents abroad, embassies and institutions require notarized and translated copies to prove legitimacy. Notarization confirms the authenticity of the document and signature, while certified translation ensures that the content is accurately conveyed in the target language.

Documents not properly notarized or translated may be rejected, delayed, or returned, leading to missed opportunities, visa denials, or legal challenges.

Common Scenarios:

  • Student applying for a foreign university

  • NRN selling or managing property

  • Spouse visa sponsorship

  • Business expanding overseas

  • Immigration to Australia, Canada, or Europe

Step-by-Step Process:

  1. Prepare your original document(s)

  2. Visit a licensed Notary Public in Nepal (or contact one online)

  3. Provide valid ID for identity verification
