What is CANA?
A Certificate of Authority for a Notarial Act (CANA) is an additional requirement if you want to get the Apostille certification of your notarized documents. The CANA is issued by the court which has jurisdiction over the notary public who notarized your documents.
Section 1, Rule IX of the 2004 Rules on Notarial Practice provides that a CANA is a certificate of authority that shows the “authenticity of the official seal and signature of a notary public.”
In applying for a CANA, you need to present the following:
- the Notarial Certification of the notary public who notarized your documents; and
- proof of appointment with the notary public.
Sample of CANA Format

Instances where a Certificate of Authority for a Notarial Act (CANA) is necessary
- Real Estate Transactions:
When executing deeds of sale, contracts, or other documents related to real estate properties, a CANA is required to validate the notarization process. This ensures the legality and authenticity of the documents involved in real estate transactions. - Affidavits and Sworn Statements:
Affidavits and sworn statements are legal documents that require notarization for their validity. Whether it’s a sworn statement for a court case, a sworn affidavit for a legal matter, or a sworn declaration for administrative purposes, a CANA is necessary to authenticate the notarial act. - Legal Agreements and Contracts:
Any legal agreement or contract that needs to be notarized, such as loan agreements, lease contracts, or partnership agreements, should be accompanied by a CANA. This adds an extra layer of assurance regarding the authenticity and legality of the documents involved. - Powers of Attorney:
Powers of attorney grant someone the authority to act on behalf of another person in legal matters. Notarizing a power of attorney document requires a CANA to ensure its validity and enforceability in various legal transactions. - Government Forms and Applications:
Certain government forms and applications, such as those related to citizenship, immigration, or licensing, may require notarization with a CANA. This is often necessary to authenticate the identity of the signatory and the contents of the document.
