you could always try your embassy... it might be cheap if it's a small one.

I needed exactly the same service last November. My embassy in Helsinki did it. It costed me 40 euros plus the trip to Helsinki from Tampere.

I doubt there might be any free service offering notarization... if you really need it, then go to Maistraatti or then stay in Stockholm a bit longer so that you get your thing done. Not much other choice I guess...

It must not be a very big honor if the Honorary Consul isn't even allowed to notarize a document. Sort of like, "we like you but we're not sure we trust you..."

That´s what I thought. There is a Italian Consul in Tampere also, but they don´t notarize documents... only the Embassy seems to do that...

The police also provides such a service, i.e. the office part in the stations ('nimismiehen kanslia', whatever that may be in English) which handles the paperwork side of things (passports etc.). IIRC a document copy can be also official 'proven' by two unchallengeable (min. 18 years old, not related to you or living in the same residence,...) people.

But they want fancy stamps and feathers and wax signets in them foreign countries...

I deal with the Maistraati offices in Helsinki and Vantaa from time to time for work. We've run into the situation where there a documents with many pages, and they have sometimes been cooperative in counting each "document" as needing one stamp regardless of having many pages. It helps to put a cover page on it that kind of defines it a s a single document. They affix one of their round stickers that binds the whole thing together. It's worth trying to talk them into anyway.

Oh well looks like I will just have to fork out the 70 Euroa then, as I can't extend my time in Stockholm due to work commitments.

Why not send the documents to Stockholm to be notarised? It would cost less that 70 € registered post, and then Stockholm send them back to you registered mail as well.

Otherwise eric71's suggestion is good. Last time I was there, they definitely didn't charge for every page.
