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.

Notary services in Indonesia ensure the validity and authenticity of various transactions, contracts, and agreements through the preparation of legal documents and their certification by a public notary. Using an experienced consultant to handle notary needs in Indonesia offers several advantages.

First, consultants possess a deep understanding of Indonesian legal requirements and procedures, ensuring all documents are prepared accurately and comply with required regulations. Second, they are trusted to expedite processes and minimize potential errors, saving time and resources for both individuals and businesses. Third, expert consultants can provide valuable advice and insight, helping clients make informed decisions and navigate complex legal issues effectively.

Overall, their professional expertise ensures smooth and efficient handling of notary services, reduces the risk of legal complications, and facilitates successful transactions in Indonesia.
