  • Insurance acknowledgments
What we cannot notarize:
  • Documents in languages other than English
  • Children’s signatures or fingerprints

Notary Policy

Our notary reserves the right at their discretion to refuse a request that does not satisfy identification or document requirements, exceeds the intention of the services we offer, or prevents staff from fulfilling the primary mission of the library.
