Certification of official competence

A notary public certifies the official competence (authority) of a signatory if the right of the person concerned to act, for example, on behalf of a company or a public authority has to be certified.

When you need to have the competence of the signatory of a document certified, you have to deliver the signed document to the Digital and Population Data Services Agency.

The right of the signatory of the document to act on behalf of a public authority or a private organisation or the authority of a self-employed person will be examined.

The notary public will check the situation from different registers or directly from the organisation that issued the document. A note confirming the competence will be recorded on the document and the notary public will sign the document.

Do the following

Deliver the document signed by a public authority or a private organisation to one of the offices of the Digital and Population Data Services Agency.
