FEES
We’re available when most notary public services are closed for the day, evening, or holiday weekends. The Oregon Secretary of State governs the maximum fee a Notary Public can charge for their signature, the additional fee charged covers the cost of traveling to your location, the time of day, the amount of time required to travel to the locations of your choice, and the length of time spent to complete the Notary stamp needs.
PRIVACY/WHO WE SHARED DATA WITH
Notary Publics do not disclose any personally identifiable information, except as permitted by law to government authorities or third parties in which there is a legal request, subpoena, or other procedure that requires the disclosure of your information.
CAN WE NOTARIZE A DOCUMENT FOR ANOTHER STATE
The short answer is yes, notary publics are legally allowed to notarize documents from any state as long the notarial act is conducted within the geographical boundaries of the notary’s state of commission.
What forms of ID are acceptable?
A document signer may present one of the following identification documents as satisfactory evidence to an Oregon Notary;
- A current driver’s license or identification card issued by any U.S. State
- A U.S. passport book or card or an officially recognized passport of a foreign country
- A current U.S. military identification card.
- A current identity card issued by a federally recognized Indian tribe.
- A current ID issued by the U.S. Federal government or a state, county, municipal, or other local government containing a photograph, signature, and physical description.
What if I don’t have an acceptable ID?
You will need an oath of affirmation of a personally known credible identifying witness.
What is a Credible Witness?
A credible identifying witness must be personally known to the Notary, and the document signer should be personally known to the credible identifying witness. There should be a “chain” of personal knowledge linking the Notary to the credible witness and the signer.
Can I get a copy of my birth certificate notarized?
NO, While Oregon notaries are certified to notarize copies, they are specifically prohibited from certifying copies of documents that are either public records or publicly recordable. Only an officer in the Bureau of Vital Statistics should certify a copy of a birth certificate. The same applies to death certificates.
