Notarisation

Notarisation is the verification of the authenticity of a signature or document content by a notary, who confirms the signer's identity and free expression of will.

Full Definition

In Slovakia, notarisation is performed by notaries under Act No. 323/1992 Coll. on notaries and notarial activities. A notarially verified signature (legalisation) is a higher level of verification than an electronic signature. Notarisation is mandatory for certain legal acts (real estate transfer, amendment of an s.r.o.'s articles of association). Ordinary commercial contracts do not require notarisation — an advanced or qualified electronic signature suffices.
