The library does employ a notary. Notarization services are available only when a notary is here. There is no charge for this service. Call or stop by the main desk to check the notary's schedule and availability. Staff members who can provide notary services are so marked on our About the Staff page.
By state law, all documents to be notarized must be presented filled out but unsigned, and the document will then be signed in the presence of the notary. The person signing the document must have valid ID and be capable of communicating directly with the notary. Minors must have a parent or legal guardian present.
The library only provides the notary. If witnesses are required, you must bring them with you. You cannot recruit witnesses at the library.
Library employees will NOT notarize the following types of documents:
- Mortgage or real-estate documents, including housing refinance and Quit Claim Deeds
- Employment eligibility verification I-9 forms
- Vital records (birth, marriage, or death certificates)
- Auto titles without the buyer's address and name
