Legal instruments or documents are in the form of an affidavit or sworn statement, agreement, contract, deed, authorization, special power of attorney, etc.  A qualified government official, such as a Notary Public, is required to witness the signing of the document, acknowledge or certify the personal appearance and identity of the signatory, or administer the oath stated in the document.

The Philippine Embassy in Oman provides notarial services for applicants (any nationality) whose legal instrument or document will be used in the Philippines or in Oman, as long as the applicant is physically present in Oman and personally appears at the Philippine Embassy.  The documents notarized at the Philippine Embassy will already be valid for use in the Philippines. 

The Philippine Embassy will NOT accept documents for notarization on the following grounds:

1. The applicant/s cannot personally appear at the Philippine Embassy;
2. The consular staff or officer cannot verify the identity of a signatory;
3. The document presented for notarization is not original, including the signature/s;
4. The document will not be used in the Philippines. 

 The applicant must bring the document to the appropriate embassy, consulate or honorary consulate of the country where the document will be used. The   applicant may request these embassies or consulates for their accredited local notaries, if any.

5. The document has already been notarized by a private or public notary. If the document presented to the Embassy is the English    translation of the Arabic document already locally notarized, it need not be notarized at the Philippine Embassy to be used in the      Philippines.

If the document has been attested by a local notary, the applicant must have it apostilled by the MOFA to use it in the Philippines.

6. The document contains an erroneous statement that is easily verifiable, such as details related to the name of the applicant, his or her civil     status, his or her age or sex, name of employer, reference to an attached document that is not presented to the consular staff or officer, or is     different or contains different details than the one presented to the consular staff or officer, etc.
7. The document is not in English or Filipino.

The Embassy assumes no responsibility for the contents of the document it will notarize.
