Finding an affordable Melbourne Notary Public
First work out what exactly you need
To find a cheap notary public in Melbourne, you can start by working out the exact work that needs to be done. You might not even need a notary public to do anything. If you do need a notary public, find out what specific services you require because Public Notaries throughout the world offer a range of services and charge different prices for different services. Therefore, you should first work out what document you need notarised, how many pages need to be notarised, whether any translation is required, whether you need a notarial certificate, how quick the processing times are to book an appointment, have your documents notarised and then get these documents authenticated by the relevant authorities in Australia before beginning your quest to find an affordable public notary in Melbourne.

Local Experience in Melbourne out ranks everything
Once you determine your exact requirements, you should then find a public notary who has the experience to notarise your document appropriately to make the process more affordable. Failure to do so will mean you might need to notarise your documents a second time and incur additional notary costs. You should look for a notary public who has many years of experience notarising documents in Melbourne as they are more likely to have come across your problem before and are familiar with the procedures of DFAT, local consulates and embassies. Our Melbourne public notary Kin Wee Chua has been notarising documents for use in most countries for more than 22 years and is an expert with notarising documents for China yet still charges highly competitive rates.
How a Notary Public deals with mistakes and errors on both sides is important to save you money
You should check with the notary public how much money it will cost to re-notarise your documents if you have not met the requirements of the receiver of your documents as well as if there is an error made on the part of the notary public. In this respect, if you find that our notarisation has been completed incorrectly, as opposed to you not providing the correct document and requirements, then we can notarise your documents a second time without additional cost. We highly recommend you speak with the end receiver of your documents to confirm the document for notarisation is correct before notarisation. In most instances we will charge another set of notary fees, although we might apply some discount to give you cheaper costs, for more work we will perform if we have previously notarised your documents in accordance with your instructions and you have changed your mind about what you want.
Work out how much time you want to spend to find a Notary Public in Melbourne and to complete the legalisation process
People who need to notarise a document for use in another country generally need it urgently and are often limited in time, else they would just leave Melbourne to sign the document in the other country. Therefore, you should work out how much time it is worth spending to call a number of notary publics in Melbourne for a quote and compare that with how urgently you need your documents notarised. In this respect, our Melbourne Notary Public charges affordable fixed fees which are, for the most part, according to the industry’s recommended schedule. Please note that a notary public does not need to follow the recommended fees and the fees can vary a lot between notary publics. Some notary publics charge a lot more than the recommended fees but we do not. In addition, you will usually need to have your documents authenticated by DFAT and possibly local consulate or embassy after a notary public in Melbourne has notarised your documents. If you are short on time, it might be cheaper and faster for you if you ask and pay for the notary public to complete the entire process because if you try to complete the process whilst being unfamiliar with the process you might cause delays.
At any notary appointment, you should bring your own copies of documents you want notarised, including your identity documents. Failure to do so will likely mean more time is spent copying documents. You should ensure all the documents are organised for easy reading.
Is time-based charges or fixed-fee charges for notarisation cheaper?
Furthermore, if you are familiar with the process it should be worth noting our fixed-fees are competitive and you will have ample time to carefully check all your documents have been notarised and ask questions without rushing to see if your time spent with our notary public exceeds a perceived limit. Moreover, any issues and unexpected surprises can be dealt with in a calm and efficient manner at your appointment with our Melbourne notary public. In general, our fixed fees reflect the time spent by the notary public providing a service and if you find a cheaper price than ours you should be aware you may have a rushed service or at times be required to correct a mistake. We try to make the notarisation process as easy and transparent as possible so you know how much you will incur.
