How much does a Notary Public cost in Cork?

Notary public fees in Cork typically range from €65 to €150+ per document, depending on the complexity of the notarisation required. Additional documents are usually charged at a reduced rate. Contact Hugh Phelan's office at +353-21-489-7134 for an exact quote for your specific requirements.

What is the difference between a Notary Public and a Commissioner for Oaths?

A Notary Public is appointed by the Chief Justice of Ireland and their notarisations are recognised internationally. A Commissioner for Oaths is authorised to witness sworn statements (affidavits and statutory declarations) for domestic use within Ireland. If your document is for use abroad, you need a Notary Public. If it is for Irish courts or domestic purposes, a Commissioner for Oaths may suffice.

Do I need an appointment to see a Notary Public in Cork?

While appointments are recommended to ensure prompt service, Hugh Phelan's office can often accommodate urgent requests. Call +353-21-489-7134 or +353-86-390-7815 (urgent) to arrange an appointment or discuss same-day availability.

What documents do I need to bring to a Notary Public?

You should bring: (1) the original document(s) to be notarised, (2) valid photographic identification such as a passport or driving licence, (3) proof of address such as a utility bill dated within the last 3 months, and (4) any specific instructions from the requesting party abroad. Contact the office in advance if you are unsure about requirements for your particular document.

Q: What does a Notary Public do in Ireland?

A Notary Public in Ireland is a qualified legal professional appointed by the Chief Justice of Ireland to authenticate documents for use internationally. They witness signatures, administer oaths, certify copies of documents, and prepare notarial acts that are recognised in jurisdictions worldwide. Unlike a Commissioner for Oaths, a Notary Public's authentication carries international validity under the Hague Apostille Convention.
