Notary services in Taiwan
Notarization and authentication of signatures, declarations, affidavits and private documents by Taiwanese notaries.
Request a quote for Notary servicesTaiwan has two kinds of notaries: the notary offices of the district courts (法院公證處) and licensed private notaries (民間公證人). They perform two different acts. Notarization (公證) records a legal act, such as a contract or a lease. Authentication (認證) confirms that a private document was signed by the right person, or that a copy matches its original.
For foreign clients, the difficulty is usually not the stamp itself but preparing a document the notary will accept and the foreign authority will recognise. We draft or review the bilingual wording, book the appointment, accompany you with an interpreter if needed and, if the document is going abroad, continue with BOCA authentication and embassy legalization.
Every document is different, so we quote each request individually. Send us a scan and you will receive a fixed price.

Questions and answers
What is the difference between 公證 and 認證?
公證 (notarization) is used when the notary records a legal act, such as a contract. 認證 (authentication) is used when the notary confirms a signature on a private document, or that a copy matches its original. Most documents for use abroad need 認證.
Can a Taiwanese notary notarize a document in English?
Yes. Notaries in Taiwan can authenticate documents in foreign languages, but they generally require a Chinese translation or a bilingual document. We prepare that for you.
Do I need to be present in person?
For signature authentication, yes, you must sign in front of the notary with your passport or ARC. For certified true copies and translation authentication, we can usually act on your behalf.
