How to get something notarized?

[TitanDiddly]

I have a liability form that I need to get notorized. There are tons of notary 'directories' online, and they all show different people for my area; 1 or 2. My dad says there should be hundreds. I'm a little doubtful of that, but given the relative innaccuracy of the various directories, I think there's more than any of them show.

Where can I get something notarized? A town hall, a bank?

Just go to any listed notary. Hell most of them are run out of people's houses.

 

Banks (if you have an account there, generally), some police departments (unlikely, but the one I work at has a notary), maybe the post office?

Do you have a Western Union? I know they sometimes have them.

I, um, "acquired" an Ohio notary seal at a yard sale for $.25

Your bank is a good place.

local public library ... done it twice, 2 different libraries... call first and make sure the notary public person is working during those hours.

I called my library, I had to hustle 'cause they closed 10 minutes later. Got it done, and in the mail. Woot. Thanks for the suggestions.

Notary: someone legally empowered to witness signatures and certify a document's validity and to take depositions
