What documents do not notaries certify?
Execution of a transaction, contract or othercontractual relations between subjects requires signing a large number of documents. However, in some cases, for them to have legal force, their notarization will also be required.
In general, the main function of a notary in the RussianFederation is the authentication of documents and their copies, which may be required in a variety of cases. In this case, the procedure for the implementation of notarial acts, as well as requirements and restrictions with regard to their commission, are established in our country by a special regulatory and legal act: Law No. 4462-I of 11 February 1993, entitled "Fundamentals of the RF Legislation on the Notary".

These include documents such as a marriage contract, an annuity or lifetime maintenance agreement, an application for inheritance, a will, permission of parents to leave a minor child abroad and some others. Other documents may be notarized, if circumstances so require.

If the required document is executed on several sheets, these sheets must be stitched, numbered and sealed.
