Finding a notary public is usually straightforward, as many retail shipping centers, financial institutions, and local offices provide these services.[1]
Common Places to Find a Notary Public
- Shipping and Office Supply Stores: The UPS Store locations almost always have an on-site notary public (though it's a good idea to call ahead to make sure they are on duty). FedEx Office locations sometimes offer it as well.[1]
- Banks and Credit Unions: Many major banks provide notary services for their account holders, often for free or a small fee. Call your local branch ahead of time to verify if a notary is available and if you need to be an account holder.
- AAA Offices: If you are a AAA member, many branch locations offer free or discounted notary services to members.
- Local Libraries or City Halls: Some public libraries, municipal clerk offices, or county courthouse buildings have staff members who are commissioned notaries.
- Real Estate or Law Offices: Local title companies, real estate agencies, or law firms frequently employ notaries and may assist walk-ins or appointments.
- Online Notary Services: If your document and state laws allow it, remote online notarization (RON) platforms allow you to connect with a licensed electronic notary via video call.
