Why You Need a Notary for New Zealand Documents
New Zealand authorities — whether immigration, banking, legal, or professional licensing bodies — require that documents presented from Ireland bear the certification of a qualified notary public. A notarial certificate confirms the authenticity of the document and the identity of its signatory. For New Zealand, this is then typically followed by an apostille or, in some cases, embassy legalisation.
