What a Notary Public does
A Notary Public in Lagos acts as a bridge between the Nigerian legal system and foreign legal systems, so that your documents — from powers of attorney to affidavits — can be used abroad through a process called legalisation. All notarial work is regulated by the Supreme Court of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and the practice is covered by professional indemnity insurance.

The Process
Identification, fees & legalisation
What to bring, how fees are assessed, and how we help your documents travel across borders.
Identification requirements
Each person whose signature is to be certified must provide one original identification document at the appointment:
- Passport
- Driving licence (with photo card)
- National identity card
- Resident permit (foreign nationals)
- Other government-issued ID (with photo and signature)
Plus proof of residence:
- Utility bill
- Bank statement
- Council tax document
- Official government correspondence
What it costs
Fees are assessed mainly by reference to the time spent on the matter, on the basis of an hourly charging rate. Fixed fees apply to certain low-fee notary services.

We assist with consular legalisation of Nigerian documents to be used in other foreign countries, and can help obtain work authorisation for Nigerians seeking employment abroad.
For company documents, education certificates, diplomas and decree absolute, attendance at the office is not always necessary — much of this can be completed online.
