Contract Notarisation Service in Kathmandu

Yes — all parties signing the contract must appear in person before the Notary Public at the time of notarisation. This is a legal requirement under the Notary Public Act 2063: the notary must verify each signatory's identity (using citizenship certificate or passport) and witness each person signing the document. A contract where one party signs in advance and the other signs later, without both present before the notary, cannot be properly notarised. If it is difficult for all parties to attend at the same time, contact us and we can discuss scheduling options, including extended hours by appointment.

You do not need to bring a draft. Hamro Notary drafts rental agreements from scratch using standard Nepali legal templates that comply with the existing tenancy laws in Nepal. You provide the key details — property address, monthly rent, deposit amount, duration, parties' names — and we prepare a complete, legally sound agreement covering rent revision, maintenance responsibilities, termination notice, and dispute resolution. If you have an existing draft, we can review it for missing clauses or errors before notarisation. Either way, the entire process — drafting and notarisation — is done in a single visit.

Yes. Many embassies — including the Indian Embassy, the UK UKVI, the Australian High Commission, and Gulf-country embassies — require proof of accommodation as part of visa applications. A notarised rental agreement is the strongest form of address proof because it is officially authenticated. A casual or unsigned tenancy agreement is typically not accepted. If you are preparing a visa application and need a rental agreement quickly, Hamro Notary provides same-day drafting and notarisation for time-sensitive visa submissions.

Notarisation fees follow the Nepal Notary Public Council's official fee schedule and vary by document type and complexity. For a standard rental agreement notarisation, fees are typically NPR 1,000–2,000. For partnership deeds or multi-party business agreements, the fee depends on the value of the transaction and complexity of the document. Drafting an agreement from scratch is priced separately and depends on the number of clauses and the time required. WhatsApp us the details of your contract for a precise, fixed quote — no hidden charges.

A contract notarised in Nepal can be used internationally after completing the appropriate legalisation steps. For Hague Convention member countries (USA, UK, Australia, EU, India, etc.), the contract must be apostilled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) after notarisation. For non-Hague countries including the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and China, the contract must go through MoFA attestation followed by embassy attestation in Kathmandu. Hamro Notary manages the complete legalisation chain — notarisation plus MoFA — so you do not need to visit multiple offices.
