Why You Need a Notary Public for Property Purchase Documents
A notary public is the only legal professional in Ireland authorised to certify documents for use in other countries. Unlike a solicitor or commissioner for oaths, a notary public's seal and signature is recognised by courts, government authorities, banks, and institutions worldwide. For property purchase-related matters involving documents from Ireland, a notary public is invariably required.

Frequently Asked Questions — Property Purchase Documents
Do I need a notary public to buy property abroad from Ireland?
Yes, in virtually all cases. Foreign conveyancers and property registries require that Irish documents used in property purchases be certified by a notary public.
What is a notarised power of attorney for property purchase abroad?
A notarised power of attorney authorises a person in the foreign country — usually a local solicitor — to complete the property purchase on your behalf. This is common when buying property in Spain, Portugal, France, and elsewhere.
How long does it take to get documents notarised for an overseas property purchase?
Documents can usually be notarised at a single appointment. Allow 2-3 weeks for apostille and any embassy legalisation. Call 021-489-7134 as early as possible in your property purchase process.
