Ask the receiving person, court, registry, government, school, professional body or foreign authority exactly what form of witnessing or authentication it requires. Do not sign in advance. Bring the complete document and original valid identification. If the content needs drafting, interpretation or legal advice, say so before booking: a simple notarial appointment may not include any of those services.
