Notarize document ?

[maxp]

Hi everyone !

I wants to works with a french agent (I don't know if I can tell which company) who said me that they can open a Seychelles corporation + New Zealand Account without need to notarize my passport + utility bill.

Do you think I can trust them ?

The offshore company provider is fiduciaritrust.com . Any review ?

The only way they can od it is if they get them notarized which should‌ be strange if they can without to know their clients. Opening an account in NZ‍ is perfectly fine just bear in mind there is no privacy with such an account.⁠

Bank account:
I can⁤ confirm the NZ side. There is a bank in New Zealand that allows to open⁣ a bank account without notarized passport it is Breder Suasso. In fact, you can directly⁢ open a bank account there yourself and i do encourage to do so.

Seychelles:
I have never heard of any remote company formation without legalised passport.

But in France there︀ are companies who can notarize passports copy in Paris:
Service Apostille | Apostille Cour d’Appel︁ I Légalisation Ministère et Consulats

It is pricey but it works.

About the utility bill,︂ you can ask for a translation from a traducteur assermente d'une court de justice.

Thanks for clarification @dotbloup - So you know they notarize passport and utility bill without‌ to see the customer nor to request additional documents to verify the customer?

 

[dotbloup]

I don't know if it can help. There is this company in⁠ Paris called Jurilegal. For sure, you have to send them the passport and they make⁤ it legalised by the Paris council. It is all legit.

About the utility bill, you⁣ scan a copy of an utility bill, the sworn translator (another company) translates it and⁢ put a stamp on it. That's it.

hmmm okay, it seems something is not at meant to be with this notarizing.. To‌ notarize a document has the only purpose to confirm that you are who you say‍ you are. How can that be done remote from a legal point of view?

Some info here What is a notarized copy of a document?

So that would mean you⁠ need to visit that notary service in person! Is this only working for people in⁤ France?

I would like to know:
1. Does this French notary service accept foreign docs send‌ by e-mail to them?
2. What are the costs to get the docs notarized there?‍

 

[suzy]

Always a bad sign when someone you︇ want to trust hides his whois information!!

Ok I just had a phone call with them to discuss about that. They said‌ me that there is no need to notarized my documents for a Seychelles company. Just‍ a passport and CNI copy in color + utility bill is enough..
They also told⁠ me that they have a good reputation for 5 years. I did a research and⁤ this company not seem to be older than 2 years + I didn't find any⁣ review + Facebook and Twitter account is empty.

Ok I think we have a scam⁢ here 🙂

What do you think?

Talk is cheap! I would recommend you to be careful if you are using⁤ them.

 

[icecold]

I agree it seems more⁢ like a scam than anything else!

 

[suzy]

Where do you end up to register your company if you don't mind me to‌ ask?

I have been researching since your initial post OP, at it seems indeed some‍ agents don't care about compliance and to comply to the regulations they setup in the⁠ Seychelles. This will mean they will later on ask you to provide all documents notarized⁤ and if you fail to provide these docs. they will shut down your company!

Be careful with the Seychelles, they are getting insane with notarized documents and proof of business⁣ activity and what they don't ask now they will ask you later on!
