Notary Services

What to Expect During Your Visit

• Meet with the notary to review your document and ensure that it can be notarized.
• Sign the document in front of the notary. The notary must witness your signature; please do not arrive with the document already signed.
• The notary will sign and stamp your document.
• The notary will record the details of the notarization in their log book.

Each notarization takes approximately 10 minutes.

Please check if your document requires witnesses. If it does, bring them with you, as the library cannot provide witnesses.
