Notary Public in Abuja.

Notarization and Legalisation made easy in Nigeria.

Notarial services should be simple, fast and accessible. We prepare Nigerian documents for embassies, universities, courts, banks and employers abroad.

Simple

Tell us what the document is and where it is going. We explain exactly what certification is required, what it costs and how long it takes, in plain language and before you commit.

Fast

We reply to enquiries in minutes rather than days. Most straightforward notarisations are completed the same day, and we will always tell you upfront if yours cannot be.

Accessible

Visit our Abuja office, or let us come to your home or workplace. Many jobs can be handled remotely for clients elsewhere in Nigeria or already living abroad.

Who are we?

Notary Service Nigeria is a notarial and document legalisation practice based in Abuja. We work with private individuals, families, students, professionals and companies who need Nigerian documents recognised outside the country.

Whether it is a single passport copy or a full corporate bundle, the standard is the same: correct certification, careful checking, and a clear explanation of what happens next.

How we prepare your documents

Nigerian documents, notarised properly for use anywhere in the world.

We notarise, certify and authenticate Nigerian documents for embassies, universities, courts, banks and employers abroad. Clear advice, fast turnaround, and a notarial certificate that is accepted the first time.

Most of the work we do is about acceptance. A document can be genuine and still be rejected abroad because the wrong certification was used, the wording was incomplete, or a required step such as Ministry of Foreign Affairs legalisation or embassy legalisation was skipped. We deal with those requirements every day, so we can tell you what the receiving authority will actually want before you spend money on the wrong process.

Documents we notarise

These are the documents we see most often. The list is not exhaustive, and an unusual document is not a problem. If you are unsure, send us a scan and we will confirm whether we can help and what the correct certification is.

Get in touch

Send us a scan and where it needs to go. We will confirm the correct certification, the fee and the turnaround, usually the same day.



    We normally reply the same working day. There is no charge for confirming the correct process for your document.
