Under the Notarial Profession Act, we are required to verify the identity of our clients.
In addition, we are legally obliged to conduct client investigations and to report unusual transactions to a national government reporting center. More information about this can be found via this link.
Questionnaires
In order to conduct the client investigation, our office has prepared various questionnaires and may request supporting documents. If the questionnaire(s) and any requested supporting documents are not provided in a timely manner or are not approved by us, the current transaction cannot proceed. We will then have to inform all parties involved. Any resulting costs or damages will be borne by the party that fails to submit the documents on time or in full, or by the party for whom the documents were not approved.
