Mr Glen Lollback has been admitted to the Supreme Court as a Notary Public and is able to provide notarial services to authenticate documents.
If you are a member of the general public or a corporate entity and require documents to be notarised by a Notary Public, then Glen is able to provide a fast and efficient service for you.
Public Notaries can witness and authenticate documentation so that they are legally valid and recognised overseas, administer oaths and statutory declarations and help confirm a person’s identity.
The role also includes:
- Certifying copies and execution of legal and business documents
- Witnessing affidavits, statutory declarations and other documents
- Administering oaths
Whenever you wish to use a document overseas you will need to employ a Notary Public rather than a Justice of the Peace (JP) to witness or certify your documents.

If you require the services of a notary, please take note of the following recommendations:
- Schedule an Appointment: Notaries cannot accommodate walk-ins, so please ensure to schedule an appointment in advance.
- Present Valid Identification: Bring current identification documents, such as a valid passport and driver’s license, to verify your identity and confirm your current residential address.
- Fee Estimation: While notaries can provide a rough fee estimate, it’s often challenging to provide an accurate quote until they can review the documents and understand the complexity of the case.
- Document Translation: If your documents are not in English, you may need to get them translated before your appointment.
- Understanding Your Document: It’s crucial that you comprehend the document you’re signing. If you don’t understand the contents, consider seeking legal advice before the appointment.
- Provide Overseas Instructions: If you received instructions from abroad, please bring them to the appointment. This helps the notary ensure that your needs are met at the first meeting.
- Sending Documents in Advance: To save time and possibly reduce costs, consider sending a copy of the necessary documents to the notary prior to your appointment.
- Photocopying – If you require copies of documents certified, please bring copies with you to save on photocopying charges.
- Fee Scale: Our Full Fee Scale is listed on this site under ‘Fee Scale.’ Remember that even minor tasks may require professional time, thus influencing the total cost.
Estimating the duration of a notary appointment can be challenging until the documents are reviewed. For straightforward documentation, a typical appointment might involve 15 minutes with the notary, followed by an additional 10 minutes of document processing. Complex cases, however, will take longer.
