Notary.mu
Where legally available

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. Identity, consent and signing requirements always remain subject to verification by the notary.

Check remote-signing eligibility

Not every instrument can be signed remotely. Select your document type and where the parties are located, and we will indicate the likely signing route. The appointed notary makes the final determination in every case.

Eligible for remote electronic signature

This document can generally be signed electronically

Subject to the appointed notary's confirmation, this type of document can usually be completed fully online with identity verification and a secure electronic signature. You can start your file now; the notary will confirm the signing route once your file is reviewed.

Notary review required

A notary must confirm the signing route

Documents of this type may be signed with video identification and a qualifying electronic signature where the law permits, or may need physical execution. Prepare your file online — the appointed notary will assess the statutory form, witnessing requirements and each party's situation, then confirm whether electronic, hybrid or physical execution applies.

Physical execution required

Prepare online, sign before the notary

This instrument requires personal appearance or special formalities before a notary. You can still save time by preparing the entire file online — identity checks, document drafting and review — and then attend a single, well-prepared signing appointment. Where parties are abroad, the notary will advise on formally authorised alternatives.

Why we check first. Electronic signatures are increasingly recognised in Mauritian law, and deeds may now be submitted electronically for registration in defined cases. That does not mean every authentic deed may be executed entirely by video conference: the Notaries Act continues to govern how an authentic deed is drawn up and how the notary verifies identity, consent and capacity. Notary.mu therefore checks eligibility per document before any "sign remotely" option is offered.

How remote signing works

Six steps, each recorded in a tamper-evident evidence file that stays with your deed.

Confirm the document is eligible

The platform checks the document type, its statutory form, where each party is located, whether witnessing or personal appearance is required, and whether the appointed notary has approved remote execution.

Verify your identity securely

Email and mobile verification, identity-document capture, a live selfie check, and screening where applicable. Automated matching assists the notary — it never replaces the notary's own decision.

Meet the notary by video where required

For higher-risk documents, the notary holds a formally logged video meeting to confirm your identity, explain the document's nature and consequences, and verify that you are signing freely and with full understanding.

Review the final document

You see the precise version you are signing. Its cryptographic fingerprint is recorded so any later alteration is detectable.

Sign with an approved electronic-signature method

Signatures use certificate-based methods that identify you reliably, remain under your exclusive control, and carry a trusted timestamp. A picture of a handwritten signature pasted into a PDF is not accepted for notarial matters.

Receive confirmation after notarial completion

The notary verifies the signature certificates, locks the final document, applies the professional certification, retains the deed and its evidence file, submits electronically where permitted, and sends you an authenticated or certified copy.

Three signing routes

Every document handled on Notary.mu falls into one of three categories.

Fully remote

Ordinary private documents eligible for electronic signature

  • Private agreements and consents
  • Authorisation letters
  • Company resolutions
Hybrid — video + e-signature

Documents requiring verification or witnessed signature

  • Affidavits and sworn statements
  • Leases and preliminary property agreements
  • Video identification plus a qualifying electronic signature, where legally permitted
Prepare online, sign in person

Authentic deeds requiring personal appearance or special formalities

  • Property transfers, donations, mortgages and charges
  • Succession instruments, powers of attorney, wills
  • Any matter involving vulnerable persons or questions of capacity or independent consent

What we record and keep

For every remote signature, Notary.mu preserves a tamper-evident evidence file, retained according to statutory and professional obligations:

  • Document version and cryptographic hash
  • Signatory's verified identity
  • Signature certificate details
  • Signing date and exact time
  • IP address and device information
  • Authentication method used
  • Consent records
  • Video-meeting reference, where applicable
  • One-time-password events
  • Signature validation result
  • Every document viewed and accepted
  • Full audit trail and notary approval
  • Registration or transcription reference
Legal basis, stated carefully. Mauritian law expressly recognises electronic submission of deeds signed with qualifying electronic signatures in defined cases, and the Electronic Transactions (Amendment) Act 2026 has been passed. Commencement of individual provisions and their regulations is confirmed before any transaction type is activated for remote execution on this platform. Certificate-based signatures issued through a government-licensed certification authority support authentication, integrity and non-repudiation.
