Document Examination, Verification of Identity, Signature Witnessing, and Official Sealing
South African law requires the validation of mortgage and loan documents, including their signatures, to give legal force to financial agreements.
Notarization is a process where a notary public verifies the identity of a signer and witnesses the signing of a document. The notary then adds their official seal or stamp to the document as proof of its authenticity.
Mortgage and loan documents are legal agreements that require notarization to ensure their legality and authenticity. Notarization also helps prevent fraud and forgeries.
