Can a Non-Judicial Stamp Be Notarized Outside Its District?

Question

Can a non-judicial stamp purchased from one district court be notarized by a notary public in another district court in Bangladesh?


Answer

Yes, a non-judicial stamp purchased from one district can generally be notarized by a notary public in another district in Bangladesh. Here’s an explanation:

  1. Notary Public’s Jurisdiction:
    A notary public in Bangladesh is authorized to authenticate documents across the country. The district of the notary’s operation does not necessarily restrict the use of the stamp paper.
  2. Validity of Stamp Paper:
    Non-judicial stamps are valid for use throughout Bangladesh, regardless of the district in which they are purchased. The key requirement is that the stamp paper must be appropriate for the type and value of the document being notarized.
  3. Practical Considerations:
    Although the notarization is legally valid, some institutions or courts may prefer the stamp and notarization to originate from the same district for administrative convenience. Confirm the specific requirements of the intended recipient to avoid complications.
