​At Arthur Browne & Associates, we provide trusted notarial services through our experienced Notary Public, Raoul Giudes. If you're dealing with international documents—whether for business, travel, education, or legal reasons—it’s important to understand the role of a Notary Public, how their work differs from that of a Justice of the Peace, and when you might also need an apostille or consular legalisation.
 
What Is a Notary Public?
A Notary Public is a senior legal practitioner authorised to witness, certify, and verify documents for international use. Their signature and official seal are recognised under international law—particularly the Hague Apostille Convention—making their certifications legally valid in many foreign jurisdictions.

​From the entire team at Arthur Browne & Associates, we wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
 
Our office will close at 5pm Tuesday 23rd December for the Christmas break and will re-open at 8.30am Monday 5th January 2026.
 
Thank you for your support throughout 2025.

Arthur Browne & Associates is pleased to welcome Raoul Giudes as a Notary Public to our firm.

We are now able to offer notarial services, including the preparation and certification of documents required for use overseas, as well as guidance on apostilles and authentications through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).
