Note, the FedEx store does not notarize anymore due to some legal issues they had. Or you can Google around for a notary service in your area. Some currency exchanges also notarize for a fee. If none of the solutions above work for you, some shipping stores such as the UPS Store notarize for a small fee (you may need to schedule an appointment though). What are some other places that you’ve found that will notarize for free? Please comment below – Brian. This worked for me, but I made sure to buy her lunch for her trouble!
#UPS NOTARIZED FOR FREE#
You can post on Facebook that you need a notary and see if a friend near you comes up! You might have a friend who is a notary, real estate agent, lawyer, etc., and is willing to do it for free or for trade. If you renting a mailbox, check to see if they also do free notarizations! 15. There is an independent mailbox/shipping store near me that offers free notarizations for customers who have a mailbox there. If you have a friend or relative who is a lawyer, ask them about it. Many lawyers have the ability to notarize documents (as long as they are not involved in a case involving that document). If you are affiliated with a college or university, check to see what notary services they offer.

UNC Charlotte offers free notary services to teachers and staff, but not students, unfortunately. Just by Googling around, I found a number of colleges and universities that will provide free notary services to teachers, students, and staff, such as Teachers College Columbia University, Western University in California, NC State, and Penn State. If you are a student, faculty, or staff member of a college or university, you might be in luck. If you work in a large company, odds are there’s a notary working there, either in an official capacity or moonlighting.

If you give them a lot of business, they might notarize for free. Some tax preparation firms offer notary services. While not free, the UC San Francisco Police Department offers notarizations for $10. Some police stations offer free notary services. Wow, I wouldn’t have guessed this one, but reader Solyda clued me in. Just be sure to differentiate between services for notaries (i.e., certificates for people who want to become notaries), and actual notary services. One example is the Franklin County Clerk/Recorder in Illinois. Similarly, some county clerk offices offer free notarizations. Google for free or cheap notarizations by your city. The city of Lacy, Washington will notarize for just $3, which is a steal. Some examples include the City of Carbondale, IL, the City of Jacksonville, IL, the Town of Hollis, NH, and the Town of Harvard, MA! Some city government offices offer free notary services. Reader Natosha pointed out that some courthouses will notarize for free! I confirmed by checking the New York courthouse, and sure enough, they do it! Check a courthouse near you. Your Insurance AgentĬheck with your insurance agent to see if they’d be willing to notarize your document for free.

If you’ve used an agent to buy a home in the past, or if you’re friends with one, they’d probably be happy to help you out with a free notarization. Real Estate offices often have notaries and some agents are themselves, notaries. Check the website of your local branches. Another is the Mercer County Library in New Jersey. One example is the La Porte County Public Library in Indiana. Some public libraries will notarize for free. While this is not free, it’s a pretty good price.
