Certifying a signature
Where to apply?
Attestation of signature authenticity can be obtained in any Polish consular post.
Do I have to apply in person?
Yes, to confirm your signature you must come personally to the consular office.
How to book an appointment?
You can book your appointment via the e-konsulat system.
What documents do I need to submit?
Please prepare:
- the document, the signature on which you want to attest,
- valid identity document (valid passport or valid personal ID).
Please note! Polish law may require certain legal actions to take the form of a notarial deed in order to be valid (e.g.: authorisation to transfer ownership of real estate or distribution agreement of estate). It is impossible for a consul to attest the signature on this kind of document which you drafted yourself.
How much does it cost?
The fee is referred to in item 6.04 of the Consular Fees Table. From 1 January 2024, the fee is 338 NOK.
You should pay the fee in cash, during your visit in our office.
What is the waiting time?
You can obtain the attestation of signature authenticity when you visit a consulate.
How to appeal?
If the attestation is refused, the consul will issue a decision. You can appeal to the Minister of Foreign Affairs within 7 days. The appeal is lodged through the consul who had issued the decision.
