About Us

The Society of Notaries of Victoria is one of the oldest continuous societies in Australia.

The Society represents the practising Notaries Public in Victoria. Notaries are an ancient branch of the legal profession holders of a unique office of trust who have special knowledge and experience in matters which cross international borders and jurisdictions.

The Find a Member link will take you to lists of our members.

Like other legal professionals, notaries rely on their clients to provide them with all of the factual details necessary to find a solution to their needs. Usually this will include details or a model/draft of your foreign document known as a notarial act [which may be in public or private form – ask your notary], instructions or advice from overseas and your identity and civil status documents, to name a few.

All of these documents and sometimes more will need to be produced to and as required by the notary.

All information to be found on this site is provided by the Society and is necessarily general. If you have a specific query, you should raise it with a notary during the consultation.
