Notary Public for International Property Transactions

Because our notaries are also experienced property and conveyancing lawyers, we understand the legal context behind the documents — not just the formality of witnessing them.

This is particularly valuable for overseas investors, expatriates, and international families purchasing property in Melbourne.

Notary Public & Conveyancing – One Firm, One Process

Many clients require both notary and conveyancing services at the same time. At Melbourne International Lawyers, we can manage both under one roof.

This is ideal when:

Buying or selling property from overseas

Signing documents across multiple time zones

Certifying identity for foreign lenders or authorities

Appointing a local representative via power of attorney

This integrated approach reduces delays, errors, and duplication.

Our notary services are frequently used alongside:

  • Wills involving overseas assets
  • Estate planning for international families
  • Powers of attorney used overseas
  • Divorce or family law documents for foreign jurisdictions

Because we also practise in wills, estate planning, family law, and divorce, we can ensure documents are not only properly notarised — but legally appropriate for your circumstances.

Company incorporation documents

Shareholder and director resolutions

International contracts

Do I Need a Notary Public or a Lawyer?

Many overseas authorities require documents to be notarised by a qualified Notary Public,
not just witnessed by a lawyer or Justice of the Peace.

You may need a notary public if:

Your documents are being used overseas

An embassy or foreign authority requires notarisation

You are buying or selling international property

You are signing legal documents outside Australia

If you’re unsure, we can advise whether notarisation is required and what level of authentication your documents need.

Can I Use a Notary Public If I’m Overseas?

Yes. We regularly assist clients who are:

  • Living overseas
  • Temporarily outside Australia
  • Unable to attend in person

Where possible, we provide guidance on:

  • Overseas execution requirements
  • Coordinating notarisation with embassies or consulates
  • Managing documents across jurisdictions
