## FAQs

- [I need a NZ notarization for a document. I am now living overseas. Can I email my document to you?](https://notarypublic.org.nz/hrf_faq/i-need-a-nz-notarization-for-a-document-i-am-now-living-overseas-can-i-email-my-document-to-you/) - If the notary is able to verify the document from the issuing authority then the Notarization can be completed on that email copy.

Do I need to have the PoA authenticated by the NZ DIA after it has been notarized?](https://notarypublic.org.nz/hrf_faq/i-have-a-poa-that-i-would-like-to-have-notarized-in-nz-for-use-in-hong-kong-do-i-need-to-have-the-poa-authenticated-by-the-nz-dia-after-it-has-been-notarized/) - It is always advisable to check with the authority or person receiving the document whether it requires further authentication after completion by the Notary.

I want to know if there is anyone locally who can sign an Australian affidavit.](https://notarypublic.org.nz/hrf_faq/i-am-an-australian-living-in-nz-i-want-to-know-if-there-is-anyone-locally-who-can-sign-an-australian-affidavit/) - Check with the lawyer preparing the affidavit in Australia who is an acceptable witness.
