Remote Online Notarization in Nigeria

How Remote Online Notarization works in Nigeria

Remote Online Notarization lets residents, businesses and expats in Nigeria request notarial services entirely online, in English, English or any other language. Our certified notaries verify your identity, apply a legally recognized notarial seal and signature, and issue notarized documents accepted by Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs and by ministries, courts, banks, registries and embassies worldwide.

Notary7 delivers every type of notarial act for Nigeria — including all forms of signature notarization and certified true copy notarization, sworn declarations and corporate acts — issued digitally or, where required, with an original wet-ink signature and seal. In Nigeria, notarized documents often require further authentication by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for use internationally. For documents originating outside Nigeria but intended for use within, they typically need to be apostilled or legalized by the Nigerian embassy or consulate in the country of origin. This layered authentication process ensures the document's legal standing and acceptance within the Nigerian legal framework and for cross-border transactions. It's crucial to follow these steps for any document that needs to be recognized both locally and globally.
