- If your documents require a witness, it is advised that you provide your own witness. The witness must personally know you and bring a valid photo identification. If you are unable to provide a witness, please let us know as soon as possible to make other arrangements.
- Only documents in English can be notarized here, and you may not use a translator to communicate with the library notary.
