Public Notaries

Okay so I thought that a JP was the creme de la creme of witnesses, well hold on to your hats, cause this is not so. They are not permitted to witness documents for use in foreign countries. I can hear your gasp. If you are an Australian applying for a VISA to the UK for example and are required to supply supporting documentation and if you are paranoid like me and don't want to part with originals you need a Notary Public. Anyway I love learning something new so I thought I would share.
