Notarization for Americans Living in Europe

U.S. citizens living in Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, or anywhere across the European continent require U.S.-valid notarizations for financial, property, and legal matters without the delays of embassy appointment queues. Executive Digital Notary provides remote online notarization from any European location.

Common Use Cases for Expats in Europe

  • Powers of attorney for U.S. property management

  • Affidavits for U.S. financial institutions

EU Apostille Requirements

All 27 European Union member states are signatories to the Hague Apostille Convention. Documents notarized in the United States and intended for legal use in EU jurisdictions will require an apostille issued by the commissioning state's Secretary of State. Executive Digital Notary coordinates apostille facilitation as part of the engagement for clients with this requirement.

Scheduling From European Time Zones

Session scheduling accommodates Central European Time and Eastern European Time zones. Morning and early-afternoon windows are available for European clients that align with standard U.S. eastern business hours. Specific availability is confirmed during booking.
