Online document certification

Notary is an online document certification platform for European cross-border workflows, with secure KYC and an optional qualified electronic signature. The service is operated by SealiD Europe Ltd. The registered office is The Brewhouse, Triq L-Imdina, Zone 2, Central Business District, Birkirkara, CBD 2010, Malta.

Everything is done online: document upload, payment, KYC, and certified delivery. Only PDF files are accepted, up to 20 MB. Start in under a minute. Upload the original file and provide the recipient details that will be used for certification and KYC. After payment, we send a secure KYC email with QR code to the person indicated on the order. Identity verification is completed from mobile in minutes. Our certification team verifies the source file and KYC evidence, then prepares the certified artifact in your order workspace. As soon as certification is complete, you receive a transactional email and can download the certified file directly from your Notary account.

We work with French lawyers, EU-based accountants, and French notaries. Each file is handled by a qualified professional practicing within the European Union. The maximum processing time is 24 business hours after KYC is approved. In most cases, processing is faster. For European public documents, certification can be used across the European Union. Regulation (EU) 2016/1191 simplifies cross-border use of these documents and removes legalization/apostille formalities between EU Member States in scope.

QES (Qualified Electronic Signature) is optional. Under eIDAS, it has the equivalent legal effect of a handwritten signature and is recognized across EU Member States. Notary is a document certification platform and does not provide legal advice. You are responsible for verifying whether a certified document meets your jurisdiction-specific legal requirements. Standard certification is 69 € per document, including Malta VAT. The optional QES add-on is 49 € per document, including VAT.
