Notary Services

Notary services are available at no charge to library patrons. 

Patrons can walk in or call ahead to request a notary. 

Walk-in requests are not guaranteed and will be provided based on notary availability. 

• Library notaries are not permitted to communicate with a notary service customer through a translator.
• Notaries are regulated by Illinois law. Notary staff 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 any matters.
• In accordance with Illinois notarial law, the notary may ask the patron to sign their notary public record book. Service for patrons who decline to sign the record book will not be provided.
• In accordance with Illinois notarial law, notaries will not provide service if the patron’s document or circumstances of the request for notary service raise any issues of authenticity, ambiguity, doubt, or uncertainty for the library. In this event, the library notary may, at their sole discretion, decline to provide notary service.

• Bring current, unexpired photo identification with a signature, issued by a U.S. state or federal government.
