Documents bayside clients often need
Bayside clients most often ask us about:
- Estates overseas: declarations and powers of attorney when a relative dies leaving property or money in another country.
- Pension declarations: signatures certified on the declarations overseas pension authorities send to pensioners living in Australia.
- Business documents: witnessing directors and authorised officers signing contracts, deeds and share transfers, and certified copies of ASIC extracts, constitutions and resolutions. Overseas parties sometimes also want the notary to confirm the company’s registration and the signatory’s authority, which needs searches first, so send us the company details early.
- Study and work overseas: certified copies of qualifications, transcripts and identity documents.

Yes. Our office at 435 Nepean Highway is a short walk from Frankston station, at the end of the Frankston line. Bentleigh, Moorabbin, Cheltenham, Mentone, Mordialloc, Chelsea and Carrum are all on that line. Brighton, Hampton and Sandringham are on the Sandringham line, so clients from there usually drive.
Yes. We witness signatures of directors and officers and certify copies of company records. Bring a current ASIC extract and evidence of the signatory’s authority, such as a board resolution. Some countries also ask the notary to confirm the company’s standing, which needs searches before the appointment.
We can notarise the declarations and powers of attorney that the lawyer or notary handling the estate overseas asks for. We advise on Victorian law, not the law of the other country, so ask the overseas lawyer to send the required wording.
We can witness and notarise a power of attorney. For property in another country, the document usually has to meet that country’s law, so the safest course is for the lawyer or notary there to prepare it and send it to us for signing.
Most appointments take less than an hour. If the documents need an apostille, DFAT sets its own processing times, which lengthen in busy periods such as the end of the year. Allow extra time if the document has a deadline overseas.
Yes. Radek Dajer speaks Polish and can take you through the documents and the appointment in Polish. Notarial certificates for Poland can be prepared in English and Polish. See our Polish-language page.
