Acknowledgement of Documents
Note:
- Acknowledgement of Document service is by appointment only…book appointment here
- All clients must fill up and submit the Health Declaration form when availing services at the Consulate.
When persons executing or making the declarations in the document (e.g., power of attorney, affidavits, certifications, contracts) appear in person and sign the document before a Consular Officer at the Consulate General, the document will be notarized by the Consular officer in the form of an Acknowledgment, Jurat or Certification, as the case may be. The Consular Officer in this case performs the functions of a Notary Public. Hence, individuals personally appearing before a Consular Officer are no longer required to have their documents notarized by a Notary Public before submitting the same for notarization.
