Notary Public in Siliguri
Most notary work is quick, but small details decide whether an office accepts your paper. As a Notary Public in Siliguri since 1982, our chamber on Hill Cart Road, opposite Meghdoot Cinema Hall, attests affidavits, agreements, powers of attorney, undertakings and true copies every working day. Two notaries sit here, Ramesh Kumar Agarwal and Khushboo Agarwal Goyal, and the advocates of the chamber draft the paper if you do not have one ready.
A notary is appointed under the Notaries Act 1952 and works under the Notaries Rules 1956. The notary identifies you from an original photo ID, watches you sign, signs and seals the paper, and records the act in the notarial register with a serial number. That is why the person signing must come in person: a paper signed at home and brought in already signed cannot be notarised.
Three words are often confused. Notarisation is the notary's attestation of a signature or a copy. Attestation, for use abroad, means a government office and then an embassy confirm the seal. An apostille is a single certificate from the Ministry of External Affairs, issued through its Branch Secretariat in Kolkata after state verification, that Hague Convention countries accept. We do the first step here and explain the rest.
Most affidavits and agreements go on West Bengal non-judicial stamp paper, and the right value depends on the document. A wrong value, or paper bought outside the state, is one of the most common reasons for rejection, so we confirm it before you buy. Our own fee is shown below; stamp paper is always extra. Every page in this section is reviewed by Adv. Abhishek Agarwal.

Notarisation at this chamber starts at Rupees 100. Stamp paper, when your paper needs it, is extra and follows the West Bengal rate in force that week. Send the details on WhatsApp and we'll reply with the exact cost.

Questions people ask about notarisation of documents in Siliguri
Do I need an appointment to see the notary in Siliguri?
Not for a single affidavit or a few copies. Walk in during chamber hours. Call ahead if several people must sign or you have a large set of copies.
What should I bring to the notary?
Your original photo ID, the document or the details for drafting it, and the originals of anything to be copied. Every signer must come in person.
What is the stamp paper value for an affidavit in West Bengal?
Many simple affidavits use low-value non-judicial paper, often Rs 10, but agreements, bonds and powers of attorney carry different duty. We confirm the value before you buy.
Is notarisation the same as registration?
No. Registration happens at the ADSR or District Registry and is required for sale deeds, gift deeds of land and leases of a year or more. A notary cannot replace it.
Can the notary help with apostille?
We notarise and prepare the papers here. The apostille is issued by the MEA in Kolkata after state verification, and we explain each step.
