Advocate, Mumbai 96036 Answers 7715 ConsultationsA notary is by attesting a document gives undertaking as to the person who signed the document as a matter of fact. An attested by gazetted office is verification of the document/certificate is true copy of document/certificate. Notary has no power to attested a document/certificate as true copy of original. You need to take attestation from gazette office, notary cannot attest a document/certificate.

Advocate, Coimbatore 2884 Answers 20 ConsultationsHi, Notary is not a Gazatted officer.
Advocate, Bangalore 5607 Answers 337 Consultations- As per Kerala High Court judgment in the matter of Abdul Qadir Versus Union of India , “The term Gazetted officer refers to an officer of the State or Central Government with a definite status, A notary is a professional and not an officer of the Government.”
- The Court further observed that, “It is not the publication of a person’s name in the official gazette that makes him a gazetted officer, but his occupying a definite official status in the hierarchy of government service”
- Since the Notary not having official status in the hierarchy of government service , hence he is not a Gazetted officer.
