Notarial Contracts & Affidavits legally drafted, witnessed and notarised by an Admitted Attorney & Notary Public.
Whether you need an affidavit, declaration, power of attorney or a formal notarial contract, Forecast Consulting provides professional, compliant notarial services for use in South Africa and abroad.
What Is a Notarial Contract?
A notarial contract (also called a notarial deed) is a legal document that must be drafted, signed and executed in the presence of a Notary Public. The notary’s signature and official seal confirm that:
- The parties signed voluntarily
- Their identities were verified
- The document meets South African legal standards
Certain notarial contracts must also be registered at the Deeds Office to be legally enforceable.
Common Examples of Notarial Contracts
- Ante-nuptial (prenuptial) contracts
- Notarial deeds and bonds
- Long-term leases and servitudes
- Acknowledgements of debt
- Cession of rights
- Certain company and property-related documents
What Is an Affidavit or Declaration?
An affidavit is a sworn written statement in which the deponent confirms that the contents are true and correct. Affidavits are commonly required for legal, administrative, immigration and business purposes.
Affidavits must be signed in the presence of a Notary Public or Commissioner of Oaths, depending on where the document will be used.
Common Affidavits We Assist With
- Proof of residence or identity
- Lost document or passport affidavits
- Visa and immigration affidavits
- Employment or business declarations
- Parental consent for minor travel
- Single status / no impediment affidavits
Why Notarisation Matters
Documents that carry a notarial seal are widely recognised as authentic and legally valid.
Notarisation provides:
- Legal validity in South Africa and internationally
- Verified identity and consent of signatories
- Protection against fraud or document alteration
- Acceptance by foreign authorities, embassies and institutions
