- International operating agreements: Ground handling contracts, code-share agreements, and interline agreements between airlines and service providers often need notarised signatures for enforceability in foreign jurisdictions.
- Aviation authority filings: Submissions to the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA), EASA, the FAA, and other international aviation regulators may require notarised corporate documents, affidavits, or declarations.
- Cargo and freight documentation: International air cargo operators need notarised customs documents, certificates of origin, and shipping declarations.
- Employee documentation: Airline and airport staff who travel internationally for work or who are relocating often need notarised personal and professional documents for visa and work permit applications.
- Insurance claims: Aviation insurance claims, particularly those with an international element, may require notarised affidavits and declarations.
