International Notary Publics are a critical part of the global business world. They provide legal authentication for documents used in international shopkeepers and to verify the identity of individuals worldwide. In order to become an International Notary Public, one must be licensed by a national notary authority and must have the requisite training, knowledge and experience of foreign laws. Their services can include witnessing the signing of documents such as contracts, deeds and other legal documents; certifying true copies of documents; and authenticating hand-written signatures. Without their services, it would be very difficult to conduct transactions on an international level.
