Notary Public services are available at the library. The best way to make sure our Notary is available is to give us a call and make an appointment.
Please keep the following rules in mind when seeking service (taken from our Notary Public Policy):
- Do not sign your documents before coming into the library. The notary public must witness your signature.
- You must present your valid, unexpired state driver’s license, passport, or state identification card at the time of notarization.
- If your document requires witnesses, you must provide your own witnesses.
- There is no charge for members in good standing. For nonmembers, the fee for notary services is $10 per appointment.
- If your document does not contain notarial language or otherwise specify the notarial act, the patron is responsible for selecting whether an acknowledgment, jurat, or witness is required.
- Real estate documents such as closing documents, mortgages, and deeds will not be notarized.
- Trust and estate planning documents such as trusts, living wills, wills, and codicils will not be notarized.
Our recently updated notary policy can be found on our Library Policies page or HERE.
