Notary Public in Gothenburg: Notarisation and Apostille Without Booking a Local Notary
In Gothenburg, notaries public are appointed by the County Administrative Board of Västra Götaland, and their number is limited, often with office hours just once a week. If you're in Gothenburg and need a document notarised or apostilled, for example for a property deal, a subsidiary, or a power of attorney abroad, you don't need to wait for an appointment with a local notary. NotaryDirect coordinates the entire process via video, wherever in Västra Götaland you are.

Notaries Public in Gothenburg in Practice
The County Administrative Board of Västra Götaland appoints notaries public for specific municipalities within the county, and each notary typically has limited hours open to the public, often just one day a week. That means anyone needing a document notarised on short notice, ahead of a shareholders' meeting, a purchase, or an international application, often has to wait several days for an appointment, and then travel to the office in person with original documents and valid ID. For anyone already juggling operations or travel, that's a detour that rarely fits the schedule.
How NotaryDirect Solves It via Video
Instead of booking with one of Gothenburg's few notaries, you book a video meeting with one of NotaryDirect's notary public partners. You show the document and your ID on video, the notary certifies it during the meeting, and most matters are done the same day. If you also need an apostille, meaning the document needs to be recognised by an authority in another Hague country, we coordinate that step immediately afterwards, without you needing to contact a further authority yourself. You skip both the trip to a physical office and the wait for an available slot.
Common Cases for Businesses and Individuals in the Gothenburg Region
Gothenburg is Sweden's most important port city and home to a large number of exporters, shipping companies, and industrial firms with international counterparts, as well as a significant academic and research hub around Chalmers University of Technology. Common cases from the region include powers of attorney for subsidiaries abroad, board resolutions to be sent to a foreign bank or counterparty, certified copies of registration certificates for an international tender, and personal documents such as diplomas or powers of attorney ahead of a move, marriage, or property purchase abroad. Regardless of the industry, the principle is the same: the document is notarised in Sweden and then apostilled to be valid in the recipient country.
Price and Turnaround
Notarisation costs 75 EUR per document, and apostille costs 75 EUR per document. If you need both for the same document, that's 150 EUR. Notarisation and the apostille, issued directly by the notary, are normally completed within 24 hours of the video meeting. The price is the same regardless of where in Sweden you're located.
How to Book from Gothenburg
Book a video meeting directly at notarydirect.se, have the document ready along with valid ID, and join the meeting from wherever you are in Gothenburg or Västra Götaland. If you'd still prefer to meet in person, that's fine too, the meeting then takes place with our notary in Stockholm.
