MY NOTARY PUBLIC COMMISSION CERTIFICATE
Enlarge/History
I notarize documents both in Russian or English languages.
You can also order certified
translations
of your key documents.
If you cannot come to my office for notarizations because of illness or other circumstances, I can personally visit you.
Please remember that documents must be signed ONLY in the presence of a notary
. Documents signed earlier
cannot
be notarized and will need to be retyped. Our bureau will do the clerical work required to bring your documents into compliance with Russian law, including correcting errors, editing, formatting, necessary graphic design changes, etc.
Please also note
that documents submitted to Russian authorities can contain no mistakes in text. They must be typed on a computer (handwritten texts are rarely accepted) and edited & formatted for easy reading. Documents not prepared correctly may be summarily rejected by Russian authorities or placed under lengthy investigation - with their authenticity or even that of the associated notary called into question.
In order to protect you and our own professional standing we therefore require that needed document edits or formatting changes be completed prior to notarization.
Documents ready for notarization can be
emailed
to us (as an attached Microsoft Word file) in advance of coming to our office. We will review the documents (in Russian or English) to ensure they comply with requirements - and format each on a single page of paper where possible. On your visit to our office you will then need only to sign the registration journal, make the fee payment, and sign your document - all of which should take no more than ten minutes of your time.
Please do not forget to bring
your ID
with you: a driver's license, U.S. or Russian passport, green card, etc. Your official ID must include a photo of you.
For documents prepared entirely by yourself please leave about 3-4 inches at the bottom of the page for the notary stamp and necessary details. Also, please make sure that each document is undamaged and
able to pass through a standard printer
. Sending your statement in electronic format via email has the advantage of allowing last minute corrections or reprinting should either be necessary.
