Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about notarization and document certification
What identification is required for notarization?
Acceptable identification typically includes a valid passport or Malaysian identity card. For corporate matters, authorized signatory documentation and company registration records may be requested. Original documents are usually required for in-person verification.
Can DocMVerify certify copies of documents?
Yes. DocMVerify can certify copies as true copies of the original when the original document is presented at the time of service. Certification is performed in accordance with local practice and recorded in our service notes.
What if my document is in a foreign language?
Documents not in English or Malay may require a certified translation. We can advise on translation options and how to present translated materials alongside the original during certification.
Can you assist with documents for use overseas?
We provide guidance on steps commonly required for international use, such as consular legalization. Malaysia is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention; specific steps vary by destination country and the receiving authority.
Is remote notarization available?
In-person notarization is the standard practice. Remote notarization options are evaluated based on legal allowances and the nature of the document; availability is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
How long does the notarization process take?
A straightforward in-person notarization typically takes a short appointment, often 15 to 30 minutes, depending on document complexity and administrative checks. Additional time may be needed for certification of multiple documents or further authentication steps.
What are the fees for services?
Fees depend on the type and number of documents and any additional services such as certified translation or legalization referrals. We provide fee estimates upon reviewing the service request.
Do I need an appointment?
Appointments are recommended to ensure availability and to allow time to review required documentation in advance. Walk-ins may be accommodated subject to schedule.
Will DocMVerify keep a record of the notarization?
Yes. We retain administrative records and a summary of the act performed to assist clients if questions arise later and to provide receipts or confirmations upon request.
Can you notarize corporate documents?
Corporate notarization services are available when appropriate company authorization and identification are presented. Additional corporate records may be requested to confirm signatory authority.
What should I bring to the appointment?
Bring original documents to be notarized, valid identification for all signatories, and any supporting corporate authorization if applicable. If you expect follow-up legalization, bring details of the receiving authority's requirements.
How do I prepare a power of attorney for notarization?
Prepare the power of attorney document according to the required format and ensure the principal and witnesses attend with valid ID. We can review the document for proper execution but do not provide legal advice on its content.
Can DocMVerify translate documents?
DocMVerify does not directly provide certified translation in-house but can refer to qualified translators and advise on combining translated materials with notarization and certification steps.
