Types of Notarials

Acknowledgement

An Acknowledgement of Execution is used for legal agreements, deeds, powers of attorney, bills of sale, business documents, corporate acknowledgements, etc. for use in the United States.

Affidavit

An Affidavit is a sworn statement, made by you. Write out the statement you wish to make, but do not sign the form.

For us to notarize your documents, you must:

• have a government-issued photo ID, e.g. a passport;

• have filled in the document with the appropriate names, places and dates, but don't sign it; you'll sign it at the Embassy in front of the notary.

Certified Photocopy

Please bring the original document with you.

Fees

The fee is $30 or CFA equivalent for the first notarization on a given day and $20 or CFA equivalent for each subsequent notarization DEALING WITH THE SAME SUBJECT OR TRANSACTION on the same day
