Notarial Acts

Authority to draw up notarial acts granting power of attorney

All heads of Dutch embassies and consulates are authorised to draw up notarial acts granting power of attorney, provided the requesting party is a Dutch national living in the area served by the mission.

Authority to act as a notary

A limited number of Dutch missions are authorised to perform notarial functions, such as drawing up wills, cohabitation agreements, affidavits of paternity and marriage contracts. You can take advantage of these services if you live in the area served by the mission.

For most notarial acts, you are expected to submit a draft version to the relevant Dutch mission via a notary in the Netherlands. For more information, please contact the mission in question.
