Get a certified copy of your passport or national ID, verified and stamped by a qualified Notary Public, fully online. Upload a clear photo of the document, verify your identity in a few minutes, and receive the certified copy as a secure PDF within 24 hours. If your recipient asks for certification by a Notary Public from a specific country, such as the UK, you will find those services under Services, or contact support.
A copy of your passport or ID that a qualified Notary Public has compared with the original and marked as a true copy, with the notarial seal and signature and a short certificate stating when and how it was verified. It proves who you are to a bank, a company registry, a visa office, or a lawyer abroad, without your actual passport leaving your hands.
It is delivered as a secure PDF that the recipient can verify, and that you can forward or print as many times as you need.
Opening a bank or brokerage account in another country. Identity checks for an investment platform, a crypto exchange, or a payment provider. A visa or residency application. Registering a company or acting as a director abroad. Buying or selling property in another country. A job or a university place where the institution needs a verified copy of your ID.
In all of these, the other side wants proof that the copy matches a real, valid document, from someone they recognize as authorized to say so. A notarial certification is the form that works across borders.
Certifying documents should be easy. Our process only takes a few minutes, and you will receive your certified documents within 24 hours.
Upload the documents you need notarized or apostilled.
Complete the checkout process, secure and efficient.
Verify your identity, and you're done! We'll send your notarized or apostilled documents within 24 hours.
You never send the passport itself. You upload a clear photo of the data page, complete a guided identity verification with a biometric and ID check so your appointed Notary Public can confirm that the document is yours and genuine, and the certified copy is delivered within 24 hours.
There is no meeting to book and no office to visit. Support is available online throughout, and if anything on the platform’s side goes wrong, the service fee is refunded in full.
Place the passport flat on a plain surface in good light. Photograph the full data page with all four corners visible, no glare over the photo or the two lines of characters at the bottom, and no fingers covering any text. For a national ID card, photograph both sides. Upload the images as they are, without cropping or editing.
If anything is unclear, your appointed Notary Public asks for a new photo before work starts, so you are never charged for a copy that cannot be certified.
A secure PDF of your passport or ID page with a true-copy statement, the seal and signature of your appointed Notary Public, and a short certificate of verification, within 24 hours of identity verification.
Yes. Both terms describe a copy that has been compared with the original and certified as a true likeness by someone authorized to do so.
A notarial certification is what international recipients usually ask for. Solicitors, accountants, and post offices can certify copies for domestic use in some countries, but across borders the notarial form is the one that is recognized. If your recipient has a specific requirement, ask them before ordering, or contact support.
Yes. Upload both sides of the card. Expired documents cannot be certified.
Most recipients accept the PDF and can verify it. Some require a paper original, which can be posted on request.
Yes, if your recipient requires it. Contact support before ordering so the right product is used from the start.

What is notarization?
Notarization is the process where a qualified Notary Public verifies your identity, witnesses your signature, and applies an official seal that gives the document standing in foreign legal systems. For international use, notarization is often the first step before an Apostille is added.
Is yours covered?
A wide range of personal, business, and legal documents can be notarized remotely:
A few document types are explicitly prohibited from remote notarization:
If you’re not sure whether your document qualifies, contact support before placing your order. You’ll usually have an answer within minutes.

What you need to know
If your document needs a Notary Public from a specific country, we recommend the country-specific product under Services. For International orders (no country-specific requirement), NotaryPublic24 assigns a qualified Notary Public based on your document type, destination, and case specifics. All Notary Publics on the platform are qualified and licensed to handle international notarization.
After you place your order, you’ll be guided through online identity verification with a biometric and ID check. Clear instructions appear at every step, and the whole process is encrypted and stays inside the secure flow. The verification usually takes a few minutes.
As a secure PDF by email, typically within 24 hours of identity verification. There is no physical document by default. If you need a hard copy mailed somewhere, request that at order or via support.
It depends on where the document is going. For documents going to foreign government bodies, embassies, courts, or universities abroad, an Apostille is often required on top of notarization. In many other cases, notarization alone is enough. Recommended first: if you know you need an Apostille from a specific country’s authority (UK FCDO, etc.), see country-specific options under Services. Otherwise, International Apostille is the right choice — it includes notarization as part of the order. If you’re not sure, contact support and you’ll know within minutes.
Always confirm the receiving authority’s exact requirements. Some receiving parties require specific notarization formats, certified translations, or Apostille certification. If you’re not sure, contact support before ordering.

Our delivery promise
If anything on NotaryPublic24’s end goes wrong, whether that’s a mistake by your appointed Notary Public or an issue with how your order was handled, your service fee is refunded in full. You also get help to put things right.
Covered: any failure on the platform’s side or the appointed Notary Public’s side. If the notarization isn’t done correctly, or if your order isn’t handled as it should be, your service fee is refunded in full.
Not covered: situations where instructions weren’t followed. For example, providing a document at order time that turns out to be unsuitable for notarization. In those cases NotaryPublic24 and your appointed Notary Public have already committed time, so a partial refund may apply depending on what’s reasonable.
Support will be transparent about exactly what happened and why. The goal is always to make sure everything works out as smoothly as possible, and if something does go wrong, NotaryPublic24 does its best to help you find the right next step.
