You can use a notary to help you with, among other things, the following:

• To prove signatures, transcripts, translations and other information on the content of documents.
• To be present as a witness when lockers are closed or opened or when seals are applied or broken.
• To control lottery draws and to draw or cancel bonds, shares or other securities.
• Taking declarations on matters of legal or economic importance, and then submitting the declarations to third parties.
• To confirm that an authority or person is authorized.
• Taking certain official actions or having a certain position or competence or being authorized to represent someone else.
• To issue an apostille. An authorized stamp on a document certifying the authenticity of the signature on the document.
• Inscriptions. When legalizing signatures. Where a signature is to be witnessed, the document must be signed in our office. If you are signing a document, you must come to the office and bring a valid ID document with you.
• Photocopies. When legalizing photocopies, where copies need to be certified, the original must be brought to our office. We then make the copy on the spot and certify it.
• Adoption documents. If you have adoption documents that need to be certified, you should submit them to us. It then takes between one and three days to process the case. Bring the instructions you received from the adoption agency to the meeting with us.
• Signature of the authorized signatory. When a signatory’s signature is to be legalized, you must have a register extract from the Swedish Companies Registration Office showing who has the right to sign. For a fee, we can also produce this register extract.
• Powers of attorney, life certificates and affidavits. In some powers of attorney, e.g. affidavits, there is information about the authorizer, and these must be certified by a notary public. To prove what is stated in the power of attorney, you should bring a certificate, such as your passport or an extract from the Swedish Tax Agency.
