In business, and in your personal life, there are times when you need documents to be certified as accurate copies or you need an official “witness” to your signature on a contract or other document. In most instances, a Justice of the Peace (JP) can provide that service: they can review copies of documents and attest to their accuracy or legal status, and they can witness the sign up of documents.
However, a JP’s official capacity is usually only recognised within a particular country. If a document is to be used internationally, then a Public Notary should be used. Usually a practising lawyer or barrister, a Notary Public can perform the administrative functions of a JP in an international forum, including administering oaths, witnessing documents, statutory declarations and affidavits.
