Commercial notarization and foreign-related notarization are two important types of notarization business, and there are certain differences between them in terms of notarization matters, service objects, and scope of application.
Commercial notarizationCommercial notarization is mainly aimed at the legal acts and facts in commercial activities, such as the establishment, change, equity transfer, contract signing, trademark registration, intellectual property protection, etc. The purpose of commercial notarization is to ensure the legitimacy and authenticity of these commercial acts, enhance the legal effect of commercial documents, and facilitate enterprises to carry out commercial activities at home and abroad. Commercial notarization helps to reduce commercial risks and protect the legitimate rights and interests of both parties to the transaction.
Foreign-related notarizationForeign-related notarization refers to a notarization act in which a notary public certifies the authenticity and reasonableness of legal acts, documents and facts that need to be carried out abroad according to the application of domestic or foreign parties. Foreign-related notarization mainly involves the proof of the identity relationship, marriage and family relationship, survival and death, property rights and interests of citizens or legal persons abroad. Foreign-related notarization is mainly used for people going abroad, multinational companies, foreign ** institutions, etc., and is used to handle relevant procedures abroad, apply for visas, and prove identity or property status.
In short, commercial notarization focuses on legal acts in the commercial field, while foreign-related notarization focuses on the authenticity and legality of Chinese documents in transnational affairs. Both need to be carried out by a professional notary public to ensure the validity of the notarization and international recognition.
