Accordingly, please do contact us first to see if we can sign your documents. If we cannot sign your document we can refer you to a Notary.
As the law stands a member of the police force cannot sign such documents for the general public. A Commissioner for Oaths is responsible for signing such documents.

"I found Paul to be very professional and his fees very reasonable on both occasions we made use of his services. We didn't know how to proceed with all the documents and before we met him the first time he explained what they were about and how to proceed.
