The Embassy provides limited notarial services primarily for Filipinos abroad pursuant to existing Philippine jurisprudence and regulations of the Department of Foreign Affairs.

Notarial functions include the administration of oaths and affirmations, execution of affidavits, depositions and other documents that require an oath, including receiving proof and acknowledgment of writing related to commerce and navigation, private acts and deeds.

Individuals who wish to avail of notarial and legalization services have to come personally at the Embassy to sign their documents in the presence of the consular officer, and exhibit valid proof of identity. Should a witness be required for certain types of legal instruments, the party availing of the embassy's notary services should bring along a person of legal age and with a valid ID.

Templates for these common documents however, are provided as a sample for customization and edit, and are available here for download.
