Introduction
In Nepal, notary and translation play a crucial role in validating documents for domestic and international use. Whether for immigration, foreign employment, business registration, court proceedings, or overseas education, properly notarized and translated documents are often mandatory under Nepalese law and international requirements.
Onesphere Law Associates provides professional legal assistance and facilitation for notary and translation services in Nepal. While we do not directly act as a notary public or certified translator, our firm assists clients throughout the entire process by coordinating with authorized notaries, government offices, and certified translation professionals to ensure accuracy, compliance, and timely completion.
Understanding Notary Services in Nepal
What Is Notarization?
Notarization is a legal process through which documents are authenticated by a licensed Notary Public in Nepal. A notarized document confirms the identity of the signatory and the authenticity of the signature or copy, making it legally acceptable for official and legal purposes.
Notary services in Nepal are regulated under the Notary Public Act, 2063 (2006) and administered by registered notary publics authorized by the government.
Common Documents Requiring Notarization
Notarization is commonly required for:
- Citizenship certificates and passports (true copy verification)
- Academic certificates and transcripts
- Power of Attorney
- Affidavits and declarations
- Marriage, divorce, and birth certificates
- Company incorporation and corporate resolutions
- Agreements, contracts, and consent letters
Our Role in Notary Assistance
Onesphere Law Associates does not notarize documents directly. Instead, we assist clients by:
- Reviewing documents for legal accuracy and completeness
- Advising on notarization requirements under Nepalese law
- Coordinating with licensed notary publics
- Ensuring proper formatting and compliance
- Reducing delays caused by documentation errors
Our involvement ensures that documents are notarized correctly and accepted by relevant authorities in Nepal and abroad.
Legal Translation Services in Nepal
Importance of Legal Translation
Legal translation is essential when documents drafted in one language must be submitted to authorities or institutions in another language. In Nepal, documents are often required in Nepali or English, depending on the authority involved. However we also assist in the translation of the document from Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Korean, and other languages.
Accurate legal translation is critical, as errors or inconsistencies may lead to rejection, delays, or legal complications.
Documents Commonly Requiring Translation
- Academic certificates
- Immigration and visa documents
- Court judgments and legal pleadings
- Business and corporate documents
- Marriage, birth, and death certificates
