A Notarial Certificate is a formal document that confirms and records an individual’s involvement in a particular transaction or event. It serves as written proof of the occurrence of an event, such as the signing of a contract, and provides official assurance that all proper procedures have been followed. Essentially, it is a document providing legal protection to both parties involved in the transaction by documenting each step along the way. By having an independent third-party, such as a Notary Public, supervise the entire process, all parties can feel secure that their agreement has been properly documented.
