You’ve been asked to provide a notarised document for use overseas — but you’re unsure where to start. Do you need a certified copy, a declaration, or a power of attorney? Will your documents be accepted abroad? Is an apostille or legalisation required? The process feels complex, unfamiliar, and full of costly pitfalls.
One mistake could cause major delays. An unsigned page, missing stamp, or incorrect wording could mean rejection by a foreign authority — wasting time, missing deadlines, or even losing a legal or financial opportunity. Many clients come to us after already being turned away by embassies, banks, or overseas lawyers, unsure how to fix the mess.
We take that stress off your hands. As an experienced Notary Public, we make sure your documents are properly signed, certified, and prepared for international acceptance — the first time. Whether it’s a power of attorney for Europe, a statutory declaration for the U.S., or a certified passport copy for a visa application, we ensure your paperwork is done right, fast, and with full peace of mind.
Our Notary Public ensures your documents meet international standards — including notarisation, apostille, or consular legalisation — so they’re accepted without question by foreign authorities.
Every document is checked and executed correctly. We advise you on the exact form required, whether it’s a statutory declaration, certified copy, or power of attorney, reducing the risk of rejection.
Appointments are quick and efficient. We offer flexible scheduling and digital options (including remote witnessing where permitted) to minimise disruption to your day.
You’ll leave with clear confirmation that your documents are valid, properly witnessed, and ready for use — backed by a trusted Notary Public with international recognition.
From visa documents to international powers of attorney — here’s how we’ve made the process simple, secure, and stress-free.
Posted on Google Mick d 14 September 2026 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When people think of lawyers, they always think expensive,money grabbing,aggravated or only concerned in winning for ego,cash,clout. Boettcher law firm, breaks the bread and is willing to plough the field right next to you all the way. Their work ethics & stead fast approach as a team is commendable. Annie Jin (solicitor) went above and beyond for me, from the gecko. Her relaxed but assertive demeanour was top notch. I was in a real quick sand conundrum,where I was stuck.I’m on a disability pension, I’m scraping by and was pushed into the corner, with the plaintive hoping I’d never be able to get my rightfully owed money. She was banking on expenses of a lawyer I wouldn’t be able to fight,She was right, I’d won $16,063 on a poker machine, I had my landlords bsb & acc number saved as a screenshot right next to my own account. Heat of the moment & didn’t have glasses. I accidentally chose the wrong account. The club, my bank ANZ,Police can’t do a thing about this. You’ll need to fight in court,and lawyers fees to go after that amount, you’ll be lucky if you can even afford the lawyer let alone get any moneys back. Annie spoke to Fabian and they saw,not an easy payout, more importantly they saw me as a human struggling that made an innocent mistake that’s cost me dearly. Boettcher law ;choose not to kick me to the kirb,making me feel weak & insignificant,but instead represent me,and show a lady with a gluten for greed and questionable motives & morals a thing or two. This lady played it out for 18months, yet Fabian had said, like Brad Pitt in Snatch. F#%k it , I’ll do the fight for free. I was contacted by Mason who was my representative 3 days ago to inform me he’d get my money back, and Boettcher Law say as they do, do as they say. I’m pleased to say the small amount of money they got from my payout,was not only very fair,but I insisted for I believed it was a moral thing to do considering the 18months of watching a lady trying to claim her so called cake & eat it too. I couldn’t recommend a better law firm,but also a team of highly proficient humans, who will draw the line in the sand for equality,When humans take advantage of others dignity,bullying ,discrimination,disingenuous,dishonest & show little respect to a fellow human, look out cause you’ve woken a team, that are in it for you, not ego,money,fame. Boettchers there for your pride & giving you back your dignity.rare to find a Law firm all about the community & respect the reality of life & are prepared to help the helpless. Annie Jin, Mason ,Fabian You restored my faith in humanity for me, I’ll never forget your commitment & compassion in helping a wounded soldier out of the quick sand to now having faith in our justice system🙏if your looking for a loyal lawyer don’t look any further, if your looking to lose, Go to another firm, 🙏 Posted on Google K 11 September 2026 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am extremely grateful to Fabian and Mason for their outstanding assistance during a very stressful and time-sensitive matter. I was facing extremely tight deadlines, and Fabian took the time to carefully review a substantial amount of material. His advice and responses were consistently clear, precise and thoughtful. His attention to detail gave me enormous confidence that important issues would not be overlooked. Within only one or two days, Fabian assisted me through a difficult negotiation under significant pressure. What I appreciated most was not only his legal expertise, but also his patience, persistence and strong sense of fairness. When I was faced with demands that I felt were unreasonable and considerable pressure to make decisions quickly, his calm and careful guidance gave me the confidence to stay focused, not lose perspective, and make considered decisions. I genuinely believe that this contributed greatly to the outcome we ultimately achieved. I would also like to sincerely thank Mason for stepping in and coordinating matters at very short notice. His prompt assistance and responsiveness were greatly appreciated, particularly given the urgency of the situation. The assistance I received from Fabian and Mason went far beyond what I had expected. Fabian’s professionalism, care, patience and commitment to helping his client were exceptional. It is difficult to put into words how much his support meant to me during such a challenging period. Thank you, Fabian and Mason. I am truly grateful for everything you did for me. Posted on Google Xiao Yuan Tang 31 March 2026 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fabian and Annie were both great to deal with. Annie was especially very dedicated, always quick to respond, and explained everything really clearly. They made the whole process much easier and less stressful. Really appreciate all their help, and I’ll definitely keep working with them in the future. Posted on Google Yurica Oh 22 January 2026 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot thank Fabian Hoffmann and the team at Boettcher Law enough for their outstanding support. We were given sudden notice of lease expiry right before the Christmas–New Year period, and Fabian responded promptly and professionally throughout what could have been a very stressful situation. His advice was clear, strategic, and commercially sensible, and he guided us through negotiations with confidence and precision. Thanks to Fabian’s expertise, we were able to successfully resolve the matter and recover our bond (with only the agreed rent adjustment deducted), avoiding unnecessary escalation. Highly recommend Fabian to anyone needing reliable, sharp, and responsive commercial leasing advice. Truly a pleasure to work with.

Posted on Google Maryana Sedarous 16 July 2025 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I have since recommended him to other family members and would recommend him to anyone else who asks.
