For in-person authentication, founders sign their founding documents before a competent NAPR office or confirm there a signature they have already made. Identity, the document presented, and the link between the signature and the signer are checked directly. Alternatively, signatures on the founding agreement, articles of association or other founding documents can be authenticated by a notary. The notary confirms identity and the link to the signature, but this does not automatically verify that all information in the register is substantively consistent. For electronic submission, the signature used must reliably identify the signer and make any changes to the document detectable. An image file of a handwritten signature inserted into a document does not automatically meet these requirements. Before authentication, names, document versions and personal details should be checked against one another in all documents. Subsequent substantive changes may require a new signature or authentication. Where there are several founders, make sure every required signature is linked to the correct person and the same final version of the document.
