A Notary Public in South Africa is a specially qualified attorney who is admitted and authorised by the High Court to perform certain legal functions of a formal and ceremonial nature. These professionals are entrusted with the power to certify, authenticate, and attest documents, particularly for international use.
Unlike ordinary legal professionals, Notaries Public hold a unique and elevated status in the legal system, based on centuries-old Roman-Dutch legal traditions. Their work is governed by strict statutory requirements and ethical obligations, ensuring that notarial documents carry legal weight both domestically and abroad.
