Legal Framework & Compliance
Notarization in India is governed primarily by the Notaries Act, State Notary rules and the Indian Stamp Act for stamp duty. Additional compliance depends on the use-case (family court, arbitration, foreign legalization):
- Notaries Act, 1952: Governs notaries and their powers — notarized documents are executed before a registered Notary.
- Indian Stamp Act, 1899: Prescribes stamp duty for instruments; non-payment may lead to document inadmissibility or penalty.
- State-specific rules: Each state may have rules for e-stamping and stamp denomination. We provide state-specific guidance.
- Apostille & Consular Legalization: For international use, documents may require apostille (Hague countries) or consular legalization (non-Hague); we assist end-to-end.
