CERTIFICATION OF SIGNATURE

The certification of signature is the formality by which the notary certifies the identity of a named person. The notary certifies that the signature on the document is that of the person claiming it.

The signature must be affixed by the signatory in the presence of a notary. The notary does not validate the content of the signed document but only certifies the identity of the signatory.

Certification of signature is charged at 80 Euros (excl. VAT) per signature/document.

A degressive rate can be requested for a regular service.

CERTIFICATION OF A TRUE COPY

The certification of a true copy is the operation consisting in the ascertainment of the conformity of a reproduction of a document with the original document.

Certification of a true copy is charged at 80 Euros (excl. VAT) per copy/document.

LEGALISATION

Legalisation is the written attestation of the accuracy of the signature on a document and, in the case of a public document, of the capacity of those who received or sent it.

The purpose of legalisation is to certify the authenticity of the signature, seal or stamp on a document. It is necessary for the validity of certified documents in some foreign countries.

Palais-Royal Notaires certifies the signature and then carries out the legalisation formalities with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country where the document originates from. Only documents written in French or, failing that, accompanied by a French translation received by a sworn translator can be legalised.
