Notary Service Guidelines
The Mobile Public Library offers Notary Public services for no charge. The Notary witnesses the signing of a document or signing of a sworn statement on a document. Notary services are dependent on the Notary’s availability. Please contact your library branch to schedule an appointment.
The Library’s Notary is simply witnessing the signing of a document and is only verifying the following:
- The signer of the document appeared before the Notary.
- The Notary positively identified the signer.
- The signer both acknowledged the signature is his/hers, and that the signature was made willingly.
Information and Details
- Bring a current/valid government issued photo ID for every person who will be signing the document.
- Notary Services are dependent on the Notary’s availability.
- Please do not sign any documents until the Notary is present.
- Notary Publics are prohibited from offering legal advice to the public. Please consult with your attorney, real estate agent, or other legal professional if you have any questions before presenting a document for notarization.
