NOTARY PUBLIC

Some members of our team are commissioned in New York State as notaries public, and we do our best to have a notary present for walk-in service at our store as often as we can.

​

If you have something more complex than a quick signature or two, we advise seeking a notary provider that is able to make appointments for dedicated time. Often, the Tompkins County Clerk is able to help in this regard. Otherwise, we will do our best to work with you when we’re able.

 

Please note that if your document requires a witness or witnesses to be present at the time of the notarization, you must provide them yourself; our staff cannot be witnesses, nor will we allow you to solicit our guests, neighbors, or passers-by on the street to be witnesses.

​

Please also note that New York State notaries public are not permitted to notarize certain types of documents (even if they contain the neccesary language for notarization), and all documents must be completely filled out prior to notarization. As part of the process and in keeping with state law, we must check each document to ensure we can notarize it.

​

Please call ahead to ensure a notary will be on duty when you plan to come in. We usually have a notary on staff weekdays from 10 AM to 5:30 PM and Saturdays from 10 AM to 4:30 PM at our Collegetown location. Additionally, we have a notary at our Downtown location during the same hours on Tuesdays each week. A quick call to the location you plan to visit before you head in will help so you don’t miss one of our notaries when you come by.
