Notaries in Kenya

When Do You Need a Notary?

In Kenya, a notary public is required to authenticate documents for international use, certify copies of title deeds, witness powers of attorney, and authenticate agreements for property transactions involving foreign nationals or overseas registration. A Commissioner for Oaths handles most domestic property documents.
