An e-Notarised, digitally signed document is an electronic version of a traditional notarised document. It uses a secure digital certificate based on PDF technology and is best viewed in Adobe Acrobat Reader, Kofax Power PDF, or equivalent dedicated PDF software. Please note that basic preview applications (such as Apple Preview) may not fully display digital certificate validation details.

An e-Notarised document has the same legal standing and effect as a paper notarised document. All countries that have established laws regarding the electronic signing of documents accept them. These include New Zealand, Australia (all states), the United Kingdom, the European Union, the United States (most states), Canada, South Africa, and many others.

You can submit the e-Notarised document by email instead of sending paper documents by post or courier, as they carry equal legal validity.

Digitally certified documents contain advanced security features not found in paper documents. Any subsequent alteration, addition, or deletion immediately invalidates the digital certificate and signature.

Copies of the completed electronic document can be forwarded by email to multiple recipients as required.

Instructions on how to validate the digital certificate can be found on the Certifying Authority verification page: https://www.securedsigning.com/products/signature-verification-service. Under the "Verify Document" tab, select the “Free - Secured Signing Documents” option.

My qualifications and standing as a Notary Public in and for New Zealand can be verified on the New Zealand Society of Notaries register.
