Dr Peter Carbonaro, Notary Public

Dr Peter Carbonaro is a notary public based on Old Treasury Street (Triq it-Tezorerija) in the centre of Valletta, a short walk from the main streets of the capital. Notarial directories list him as a member of the Notarial Council of Malta, the body that represents the country's notaries. His office is open by appointment, so it is worth arranging a time before you travel into the city. If you are visiting Valletta for the day, our guide to Valletta helps you plan the rest of the trip around the appointment.

According to the directory entries, English, Italian and Maltese are spoken at the office, and documents can be authenticated in English and Maltese. That matters for UK clients, because deeds signed in Malta are drawn up in one of the two official languages, and a notary can explain the content before you sign.

A notary in Malta is a public officer who prepares and authenticates formal deeds. Buying a home is the best known example, since the final deed of sale is signed before a notary, and notaries also deal with wills, powers of attorney and company deeds. Our guides on Malta stamp duty, company formation in Malta and investing in Malta explain the costs and steps that come before a notary appointment. We have not been given a list of the matters this particular office handles, so ask the office directly what it can help with before you book.
