Notary Public

 

 

To assure prompt service when you need a notary, please read the following:

• Do not sign your document in advance. All documents MUST be signed in the presence of the notary.
• Bring photo ID, preferably your driver’s license.
• The document must be in English.
• If the document must be witnessed, you must provide your own witnesses. The Library can not supply witnesses.
• The notary cannot notarize wills or notarize the authenticity of documents (passports, birth/death/marriage certificates).
• A notary public may charge a fee of $2.00 (Cash, Check or Money Order), per signature for administering an oath or affirmation or for taking an acknowledgement or proof of execution. Unless otherwise authorized by law, a notarial fee may not exceed this amount.

Please note: The Notary’s oath requires that the notary identifies the person signing the document and witnesses the actual signing. The notary cannot make any exceptions to New York State law.
