A notary public is a legally authorized professional who verifies the authenticity of documents, administers oaths, witnesses signatures, and ensures that agreements are entered into voluntarily. In Nepal, notary publics are registered by the Notary Public Council and recognized by courts, embassies, and government agencies.
You’ll need a notary public when submitting legal documents like power of attorney, affidavits, contracts, visa documents, academic certificates, and translations to embassies, courts, or government offices.
Yes—documents notarized in Nepal are often accepted internationally if they are properly certified and meet embassy or country-specific requirements. For Hague Convention countries, you may also need an apostille.
Notarization involves a notary public legally verifying your document and identity. Certification is a statement from a translator or agency confirming the accuracy of a translation. Some documents may require both.
Nepal does not currently have e-notary laws, but we accept document submissions via email, WhatsApp, and Viber, then return notarized scanned copies. Hard copies can be picked up or couriered.
A notary in Nepal can verify a wide range of documents, including:
Power of Attorney (POA)
Affidavits
Birth, marriage, and academic certificates
Legal agreements
Translated documents
Passport and ID copies
A certified translation is a legal translation accompanied by a signed declaration of accuracy from a certified translator. It’s required for visa applications, embassy submissions, court cases, and academic admissions.
Yes, foreign documents can be notarized in Nepal if they are translated (if needed) and presented with proper identification. The notary public will confirm the identity of the person presenting the document.
