Notary Services - Purpose and Benefits

A notary is a public official authorised to create authentic deeds and exercise other powers. The notary’s primary role is to provide certainty, evidentiary power, and legal protection for parties engaging in legal acts.

The creation of a deed of establishment made by a notary is called an authentic deed, which has perfect evidentiary power in the eyes of the law, meaning that the notarial deed can be trusted as evidence of a valid change to the articles of association unless it can be proven otherwise.
