Meet your Notary Public: Timothy Prellwitz

Timothy Prellwitz is the Notary Public at Apostille24, appointed by the County Administrative Board of Stockholm. The appointment covers the municipalities of Solna and Sundbyberg and is valid for assignments throughout Sweden.

Timothy has a law degree from Umeå University and is originally from Boden. Or rather, a small village outside Boden, called Gunnarsbyn. Timothy was born in New York but moved to Sweden when he was two years old and has grown up here. Timothy has dual citizenship in both Sweden and the USA.

After his law degree, Timothy worked at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs , where he gained extensive experience from matters with international connections. He started working as Chief Legal Officer at the funeral and law firm Lavendla . Lavendla is one of Sweden’s largest players in both industries, with the business idea of ​​making the difficult easier. After his time at Lavendla, Timothy returned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a number of years where he spent most of his time abroad working at the Swedish embassy in Sudan, China and the USA. After his time abroad, he returned to Sweden to work at the rights organization Civil Rights Defenders. Nowadays, he works full-time as a self-employed person.

In the services that Apostille24 offers, we have the same approach as Lavendla – the service must be flexible, simple and on the customer’s terms. The customer must always be in focus and it is they who must dictate the terms.

Credentials and Public Appointment

Timothy Prellwitz has held the appointment as Notary Public from the County Administrative Board of Stockholm since 2019. The role is a statutory position of public trust, regulated by the Swedish Notary Public Ordinance (1982:327), and only lawyers who meet the County Administrative Board requirements can be appointed: a completed law degree, sufficient language skills and demonstrated suitability for the commission. The appointment formally covers the municipalities of Solna and Sundbyberg and is valid for assignments throughout Sweden.

Every Apostille and notarial certificate we issue carries the same legal weight as any Notary Public certificate in Sweden, and is recognised by authorities, courts and banks worldwide under the 1961 Hague Convention. Read more about what a Notary Public in Sweden does.

International Experience You Can Use

International document matters are rarely just about a stamp. Requirements differ between countries, authorities and banks, and small mistakes cause long delays. Timothy’s background at the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, with several years of service at the Swedish embassies in Sudan, China and the USA, means Apostille24 understands both the Swedish rules and the expectations of the foreign receiving party. Born in New York and holding dual Swedish and American citizenship, Timothy works as comfortably in English as in Swedish, which is why expats, international students and foreign companies make up a large part of our clients.
