YW... Your Welcome
Only notaries public can notarise a document. (Definition of notarise or notarize from the OED: "To have (a document) certified, legalized, or validated by a notary; (of a notary) to validate or certify (a document)".)Got a question for our readers from Oz: where do you get your documents notarised?
- Lawyer?
- Lawyer's Office? (meaning the secretary can do it)
- Public Notary Officer?
- Court?
- Cops?
- Your friendly neighbourhood saint?
- Other? (please specify)
I ask because it seems different for each country, curious what the deal is in Oz.
Thanks,
Max.
PS. for now the thread is "sticky". In a few days I'll pull that and let it scroll with the rest.

So my point is, they could be manipulated, so whats the point during the verification process of asking for notarized docs?
My point is anyone can become a notary, or know a notary, so really what kind of security does this establish for an Online Casino?
Need I bring up the obvious conflict of interest you have in this discussion? You are after all a proponent of an identity verification alternative, are you not?
Being a conflict of interest would mean I can benefit from the subject matter, which I can't.
Outside the US, notaries are less common and therefore more expensive, this was part of the problem.Notary's are a dime a dozen in the US and it sounds like abroad too.
In my experience, you don't have to tell them why you want something notarised, just what you want notarised. If you are concerned, you could say it is for a foreign business transaction.Also here in the US the notary needs to list whom, what and why they are notarizing the doc.. What would you tell them online gambling?
Outside the US, notaries are usually fully qualified lawyers.My point is anyone can become a notary, or know a notary, so really what kind of security does this establish for an Online Casino?
There are registers of notaries, so you can verify whether the person who notarised the document is really a notary public. Notaries keep a copy of the documents they notarise, so in case of any doubt, you can check the notary's copy. Forging a notarisation is perjury, which can lead to several years in prison.So my point is, they could be manipulated, so whats the point during the verification process of asking for notarized docs?

Notarisation is used is multi-million dollar international transactions, if it's good enough for that, it should be good enough for online gambling.
Whatever Max ... Why the debate?
Any additional form of certification or notarization of docs is a waste of time and an added expense for the Player.
Because you keep saying things like the following as if they were fact:
