Services
The office performs notarial acts under Polish law, including:

- marriage property agreements (separation of property)
- company matters — certification of signatures, transfer of shares
- powers of attorney and certified copies of documents

Language of notarial acts
Under Polish law, notarial acts are performed in Polish — this follows from Article 2 § 3 of the Act of 14 February 1991 – Law on Notaries (Prawo o notariacie). At a party's request an act may additionally be performed in a foreign language with the participation of a sworn translator (tłumacz przysięgły); a sworn translator is likewise required whenever a person taking part does not understand Polish, so that you fully understand the act's content and consequences. Please mention the need for a translator when booking your appointment — the translator's fee is separate from the notarial fee.
Fees
Notarial fees are regulated by the ordinance of the Minister of Justice, which sets maximum rates. Depending on the act, taxes (e.g. tax on civil law transactions) and court fees may also apply. Preliminary information about a planned act — including required documents and estimated costs — is free of charge.
Documents
Bring a valid passport or ID card. Other documents depend on the type of act — please contact the office in advance; scans can be sent by e-mail so we can confirm that the set is complete before your visit.
