Agreement attestation

How much does it cost to have a Notary Public attest an agreement in Nigeria?

It could cost you between 50, 000 Naira – 35,000 to have a Notary Public attest your written agreements. This payment is to be made for every copy of the agreement but in practice you will often get a 50 percent rebate for attestation of the counter parts of the agreement.

My name is Abdulateef Muhammed and as a Nigerian Notary Public and lead lawyer at Abdul Muhammed Law Practice, I am frequently asked about the costs associated with notary attestation of contracts and agreements in Nigeria. Whether you’re an individual seeking to authenticate personal documents or a business needing to validate legal paperwork, understanding the expenses involved is crucial.

Allow me to provide clarity on this matter:

Notary Public Fees: The primary cost associated with having agreements attested by a Notary Public in Nigeria is the fee charged for their services. Notary Public fees are not regulated by the Nigerian Bar Association and may vary depending on the Notary Public involved.

Document Review Charges: Notary Publics do not ‘review’ the agreements to ensure compliance with any legal requirements and accuracy of details before attesting them. Depending on request and the extent of review needed, additional charges will apply.

Travel Expenses (if applicable): If the Notary Public needs to travel to a location outside their office premises to attest agreements, there may be additional expenses such as transportation costs. These expenses are usually negotiated with the client and included in the overall fee structure.

Additional Services: In some cases, clients may require additional services such as drafting agreements or providing legal advice. The costs for these services are separate from the attestation fee and depend on the complexity of the task.

Copies and Certification: Clients often require certified copies of the attested agreements for their records or for submission to relevant authorities. Notary Publics may charge additional fees for providing certified copies of documents.

Conclusion
You cannot chis do this service by yourself, so my advice to you is to use the services of a reliable Notary Public, for your peace of mind.
