Notary.mu is an independent digital infrastructure platform. It is not a notary, a notarial office, a professional association or a government authority. Participating notaries are independent professionals who retain exclusive responsibility for legal advice, professional verification, preparation, execution and completion of notarial deeds.

Your notaire paperwork, made simple — and finished by a notaire you choose.

An Kreol : prepar ou papye noter lor internet, senp-senp — enn vre noter ki ou swazir pou verifye ek fini.

Buying or selling property, sorting an inheritance, a power of attorney, or just need a certificate or a copy of a deed? Prepare it here in plain language, see what it will cost before you start, and let us fetch the official papers. Then a notaire you choose checks everything and completes it.

You choose your own notaire. The notaire — not this website — gives the advice, signs and completes the deed. We get you ready, guard against fraud, and keep you posted at every step.

✓ Fewer trips, less waiting ✓ Clear cost before you start ✓ Guarded against fraud & double-sales ✓ Completed by a real notaire

How it works

A clear process from first question to signed instrument

The platform helps organise information. The notary independently verifies the matter and remains responsible for the final instrument.

1

Describe your matter

Answer simple questions without needing to know legal terminology.

2

Receive your checklist

See the documents, searches and information normally required.

3

Prepare securely

Upload and organise documents through a secure client space.

4

Notarial review

Your chosen notary verifies identities, title, capacity and legal requirements.

5

Sign and complete

The notary finalises, signs, registers and deposits the instrument where required.

Secure electronic signing

Sign securely — from Mauritius or abroad

Prepare your file online and, where the law and the appointed notary permit, complete eligible documents using a secure electronic signature.

Confirm that the document is eligible

The signing route depends on the document type and its statutory form.

Verify your identity securely

ID capture and a live selfie check, reviewed by the notary’s office.

Meet the notary by video where required

For higher-risk documents, a formally logged video meeting confirms identity, understanding and free consent.

Review the final document

You see the precise version you are signing.

Sign using an approved electronic-signature method

Certificate-based signatures with a trusted timestamp — not a pasted image of a signature.

Receive confirmation after notarial completion

The notary certifies, retains and, where permitted, electronically submits your deed.

Remote signing is not available for every instrument. The appointed notary will determine whether electronic, hybrid or physical execution is legally required.

Check remote-signing eligibility Learn about electronic signatures

Transparent information

Understand the likely costs before you proceed

Your estimate distinguishes government duties, registration charges, disbursements, searches, professional fees and any third-party costs.

Estimate my costs
Government duties and taxes Shown separately
Registration and search fees Itemised
Notarial professional fees Clearly identified
Surveyor, valuation or other costs Where applicable

Every result is an indicative estimate, not a final quotation. Final charges remain subject to the facts of your matter and the quotation issued by the notary.

Due diligence

Check before you transact

Verify an individual or company before an important property, succession, lending or business transaction.

Sanctions screening

  • UN consolidated list
  • Mauritius list of designated parties

PEP identification

  • Domestic, foreign and international-organisation PEPs
  • Family members and close associates

Company & ownership

  • Company verification
  • Adverse-information screening
  • Beneficial-ownership mapping
  • Identity verification

Check myself Check a person Check a company

Searches are conducted against identified sources and may produce possible matches requiring further verification. A search result is not a finding of guilt, innocence or legal approval.
Paid service

Request a deed from your notary

Select the deed or notarial service you need, provide the initial information and ask a participating notary to prepare your file — including any birth, marriage or death certificates the file requires.

Request a deed Ask my notary to prepare it View likely costs

Submitting and paying for a request starts the preparation process. It does not guarantee that the deed can be completed in the form requested — the appointed notary must verify the parties, documents, title, capacity, consent and legal requirements.

Appointments

Book your signing appointment

Once your file is ready, schedule the signing method approved by your notary.

Sign digitally

Join a secure online session and electronically sign eligible documents from Mauritius or abroad.

Sign physically

Attend the notary’s office or another approved location with the required original documents.

Use a hybrid process

Complete approved steps online and attend physically for the parts that require in-person execution.

View my signing options

Available signing methods depend on the document, the parties, applicable requirements and approval by the appointed notary.

Where responsibility sits

The platform runs the workflow. The notary runs the matter.

Two different jobs, deliberately kept apart. This is the whole of it, on one page, so that nobody has to guess who is answerable for what.

Notary.mu, the platformYour participating notary
Provides the technical infrastructureAccepts or declines the instruction
Collects preliminary informationEstablishes the legally relevant facts
Organises the documents you uploadDecides whether those documents are sufficient
Generates a preliminary checklistApproves or amends the definitive checklist
Carries messages between you and the étudeGives the legal and professional advice
Runs preliminary screening searchesMakes the professional AML/CFT assessment
Provides drafting tools and templatesControls, approves and answers for the deed
Offers appointment slotsDetermines attendance and how the deed must be executed
Displays indicative calculationsConfirms the duties, charges and professional fees
Records workflow eventsCompletes the professional and statutory acts

The moment responsibility passes is recorded, and you are told. When a notary accepts your matter you receive a notice naming that notary and the étude responsible. From that point the notary directs the professional preparation of your dossier; Notary.mu continues to provide the secure technical environment and the administrative workflow, and nothing more. Before that moment, nothing you have prepared has been reviewed by anyone.

Trust and responsibility

Technology supports the process. It does not replace the notary.

Notary.mu helps users understand and prepare their matter. Legal verification, professional advice, execution and registration remain under the responsibility of the appointed notary.

Where authorised and technically available, the platform assists the notary in searching connected and digitised registers. Results remain subject to professional verification and to the availability and accuracy of the underlying records.

Human review Every real matter is reviewed by a qualified participating notary.
Privacy by design Personal information is collected only when required and handled under published safeguards.
Clear accountability Operator details, participating professionals, complaints and data policies are openly published.
