Barrister Oluseto Oluwaseto is an Appointed Notary Public of the Federal Republic of Nigeria — an officer of the Supreme Court with authority to notarise, certify, and authenticate documents for domestic and international use. Online appointments and document upload available for clients worldwide.
A Notary Public in Nigeria is an appointee of the Chief Justice of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and is deemed an officer of the Supreme Court of Nigeria. This appointment — governed by the Notary Public Act, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004 — grants the Notary the authority to administer oaths, verify the authenticity of documents, certify copies of original documents, witness the execution of deeds and agreements, and perform other notarial acts recognised under Nigerian law and international legal practice.
Barrister Oluseto Oluwaseto holds this appointment for the Federal Republic of Nigeria. His notarial seal and signature are recognised by Nigerian government ministries, embassies and consulates in Nigeria, foreign courts and government agencies, financial institutions in Nigeria and internationally, and corporate registries both domestically and abroad.
For documents intended for use outside Nigeria, the standard process following notarisation is authentication by the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) in Abuja, followed — where necessary — by legalisation at the relevant foreign embassy or consulate in Nigeria. We manage this entire end-to-end process on behalf of clients who require it.
The notarial seal of a Nigerian Notary Public carries the full authority of the Supreme Court of Nigeria. It is the most trusted form of document authentication available under Nigerian law — and it is widely recognised across the world.
Same-day notarial services are available for urgent matters — including embassy deadlines, travel documentation, and time-critical corporate transactions. Contact us immediately and we will prioritise your instruction.

Preparation and witnessing of affidavits and sworn statements for use in Nigerian courts, government agencies, banks, and foreign institutions. We draft the affidavit, administer the oath, and affix the notarial seal — ensuring the document meets all formal requirements for its intended use.
Witnessing and notarising statutory declarations — solemn statements made without oath, accepted as legally binding declarations before a Notary Public. Widely used for change of name, loss of documents, relationship status, and other formal declarations required by Nigerian and foreign institutions.
Notarisation of General and Special Powers of Attorney — enabling one party to authorise another to act on their behalf in legal, financial, or property transactions. We verify the identity of the donor, witness execution, and affix the notarial seal, ensuring the document is valid in Nigeria and recognised internationally after MFA authentication.
Certification that a copy of a document is a true and accurate reproduction of the original — including certificates of birth, marriage, death, academic qualifications, professional licences, passports, national identity cards, and corporate documents. Our certified true copies are accepted by embassies, foreign universities, financial institutions, and government agencies worldwide.
Witnessing and attestation of the execution of deeds — including Deeds of Assignment, Deeds of Gift, Deeds of Release, Deeds of Mortgage, and other formal instruments. We verify the identity and capacity of the executing parties, witness signatures, and certify due execution before affixing the notarial seal.
Notarisation of commercial and business agreements — including sale and purchase agreements, loan agreements, partnership agreements, joint venture agreements, and tenancy agreements. Notarisation provides an additional layer of legal authenticity and is often required by banks and foreign counterparties for high-value transactions.
Notarisation of corporate instruments — board resolutions, share certificates, minutes of meetings, memoranda and articles of association, certificates of incorporation, and statutory declarations by company officers. Required by foreign registrars, international banks, and regulatory bodies for cross-border corporate transactions.
Notarisation of parental or guardian consent for a minor to travel internationally. Airlines, immigration officers, and foreign embassies routinely require a notarised consent letter when a child is travelling with one parent, a relative, or an unrelated adult. We draft, witness, and seal these documents with same-day turnaround available.
Formal witnessing of signatures on documents where an independent, qualified witness with official standing is required — including bank forms, insurance documents, visa applications, and immigration papers. We verify identity against original documents and certify the authenticity of signatures under our notarial seal.
Preparation of Notarial Certificates confirming the state of Nigerian law on a particular point, or confirming the good standing and legal existence of a Nigerian company or professional — required by foreign courts, arbitral tribunals, and regulatory bodies when Nigerian entities are parties to international proceedings or transactions.
Where documents are intended for use outside Nigeria, we coordinate the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) authentication of our notarial seal and signature — the mandatory step before a Nigerian notarised document can be legalised by a foreign embassy or consulate. We manage this process from our Lagos office on the client's behalf.
Full coordination of embassy and consulate legalisation — the final step for documents destined for use in foreign countries. We liaise with the relevant embassy in Nigeria, prepare the required covering documentation, and manage submission and collection — handling the complete end-to-end chain from notarisation to legalised document delivery.
Our online notarial service allows clients anywhere in the world to access our notarial services without travelling to Lagos. Using secure video consultation and our encrypted document upload system, we can conduct the consultation, verify identity, witness signatures, and issue notarised documents — all remotely, within the framework of Nigerian law and emerging international standards for remote notarisation.

The authority of a Nigerian Notary Public derives from the Notary Public Act, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004. Under this legislation, a Notary Public is appointed by the Chief Justice of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and has standing as an officer of the Supreme Court of Nigeria — giving their notarial acts the highest level of official recognition available under Nigerian law.
Nigerian notarial acts are accepted domestically by all Nigerian government agencies, courts, banks, and financial institutions. For international use, Nigerian notarised documents follow a two-step authentication process: MFA Authentication (Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Abuja) followed by Embassy Legalisation at the relevant foreign mission in Nigeria.
Nigeria is not yet a signatory to the Hague Apostille Convention — meaning Nigerian documents require this MFA-then-embassy two-step process for international use, rather than a single apostille stamp. We manage this entire process on behalf of clients who need it.
