  • All persons signing any document should bring a current valid government-issued photo ID that contains a signature, such as a NYS Driver’s License, valid passport or a US military ID card.
  • Documents should be completely filled out in advance, EXCEPT for the signature which will be completed in front of the Notary. A Notary cannot notarize documents that have already been signed.
  • If witnesses are required for a given document, it is the responsibility of the signer to supply them. The witness will be required to bring a valid government-issued photo ID as listed above.  The Library will not provide witnesses and witnesses may not be solicited from patrons using the Library.

  • Notaries cannot certify the authenticity of a document, certify copies, or provide legal advice or counseling regarding documents.
  • In accordance with New York State Law, a notary cannot perform Copy Certification (confirm that a reproduction of an original document is a true reproduction, ex: birth certificate, marriage certificate, passport, driver’s license). You must visit the State-issuing offices for these services.
  • Notary service is not available for power of attorney, mortgage documents, deeds, wills, living wills, living trusts, divorce, codicils, depositions, vital records, immigration, I-9 and financial documents. These types of documents can require specialized knowledge and are beyond the scope of this service.
