Hi,

A lawyer can get it done from Imam of mosque by taking his signature and name on it. Also, the document needs to be notarized which can be done by lawyer.

After this procedure, a Shahada Certificate can be obtained. Your presence isn't required.

To convert to Islam, you must visit a local mosque and perform the Shahada with a Maulvi present and two witnesses. The Maulvi will then issue a conversion certification on the letterhead for the mosque. This is known as a Shahada Certificate.

Typically, in non-Muslim countries, the local mosque or Islamic center can issue one to you. You will need identification and two Muslim witnesses (which they can usually provide for you). 

If there is not a mosque or Islamic center near you, you can type up a document that states you converted to Islam, and provide your typed name, date of birth, address, and whatever other information you wish to provide on it, as well as the statement that you converted to Islam by your own will/choice, and would like to have Islamic services provided for you in the case of death/burial.

DO NOT SIGN IT. Take it to a notary public that registers documents for your local government for documents such as wills, and deed transfers, bill of sales etc. They will ask for your ID and to verify the information in the document, and they will witness you sign it, and they too will sign it, and will stamp it with their notary seal to make it official.

It is advisable to get your identity cards to reflect the changed name to avoid confusion or hassles in the future and to ensure that all your identity cards bear the same name.
