Cost and Practicalities of Notarization

The cost of notarization in Canada can vary depending on the notary's fees and the complexity of the document. Typically, fees are charged per notarization or per document, and can range from CAD 20 to CAD 100 or more. For Kenyan businesses, it's important to factor these costs into your project budget. While direct conversion to Kenya Shillings (KES) can fluctuate, budgeting approximately KES 3,000 to KES 15,000 per notarization is a reasonable estimate. Always confirm fees upfront with the notary public you engage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a Kenyan notary public notarize documents for use in Canada?
