Common documents that need notarisation
Many documents used in the Cayman Islands and overseas need a notary’s signature witness or a notarial certificate. These are the ones we see most often.
Sworn and declared documents
- Affidavits
- Statutory declarations
A notary administers the oath or affirmation and witnesses the signature.
Authority documents
- Powers of attorney
- Company resolutions and authority letters
Contracts and personal documents
- Agreements that the receiving party asks to have witnessed
- Personal declarations for banks, schools, or immigration
If the document will be used abroad
Many overseas authorities need an apostille after notarisation. See our apostille guide.
Ask before you book
Check with the organisation that will receive the document what they require. Then book an appointment.
