DUTIES OF A NOTARY PUBLIC IN NIGERIA

In Nigeria, a Notary Public helps ensure documents are real and trustworthy. They prevent fraud and make sure transactions are honest and transparent.

A Notary Public in Nigeria is a Lawyer chosen by the Chief Justice of Nigeria to verify identities, witness signatures and confirm that documents are authentic.

A Notary Public in Nigeria does the following:

– Certifies Document Authenticity: He confirms documents are real and genuine.

– Prepares Notary Certificate: He makes special certificates to attach to documents, proving they’re authentic.
-Verifies Identity: He checks the identity of a person signing documents to prevent fake signatures.
– Witnesses Signatures: He watches as people sign documents to ensure they’re doing it willingly.

Getting a real Notary Public is important to ensure documents are legitimate and real. If you don’t:

– Documents notarized by an unauthorized person may be rejected.
– Not verifying identities can lead to fraud and money losses.
