Notary services: certified true copies and powers of attorney

Foreign authorities, banks and companies often require a copy to be certified as a true copy, or a signature to be witnessed by a notary public. We draft the documents in the correct form, book the appointments and handle the whole chain from translation to apostille.

Certified true copies

A certified true copy confirms that a copy matches the original document. You need one for diplomas, passports or company documents when the original cannot be sent. For international use the copy is usually certified by a notary public, and an apostille can be attached to it.

Powers of attorney

A power of attorney authorises someone to act on your behalf – for example in a property purchase, an inheritance matter, a company formation or banking abroad. We draft it to the requirements of the destination country, bilingual if needed, and take care of signature authentication, apostille and translation.

Frequently asked questions

Can a power of attorney be signed electronically?

Often within Finland, but a power of attorney for use abroad usually has to be signed on paper in the presence of a notary public. We check the recipient's requirements before you sign.

Is a Finnish notary's certification valid abroad?

Usually, yes – once an apostille is attached or, for countries outside the Convention, once it has been legalized.
