What is a Notary?
A notary public acts as an impartial third-party witness to the signature of a document, and ensures that all parties who signed a document did so willingly and under their own free will.
What types of documents can be notarized.
Materials that may require notarization include legal documents such as wills, trusts, deeds, contracts, and affidavits. Other examples include absentee ballots, mail-in ballots, powers of attorney, and depositions.
Documents that the library CANNOT notarize.
- Government Form I-9
- Notaries also cannot provide an Apostille (a form that certifies the authenticity of a document that is issued in one country to be used and considered valid in another).
- Employment eligibility verification
- Documents of conveyance of real estate, mortgages, other real estate loans, documents or transactions, or property transfers, such as refinancing or other types of real estate loans, purchases, sales, and beneficial interests in land trusts.
- We do not certify vital records (birth, marriage, divorce, death). These documents must be obtained from and certified by the issuing agencies.
- Electronic or remote online notarization
- Notaries may not be able to notarize documents in languages other than English.
Other things to know.
- Missouri law regulates notaries. We will not notarize documents that do not follow such laws and regulations. Notaries will not prepare or complete documents for you, nor can they give legal advice on a matter.
- Per Missouri law, notaries will not provide service if the document or circumstances of the request for notary service raise any question of authenticity, ambiguity, doubt, or uncertainty for the library. In this event, the notary may decline to provide notary service at their sole discretion.
