Notary Services


Availability

The Notary Service is based on the availability of a Library Notary. Patrons seeking Notary Services are advised to call the Library prior to their visit, to ensure that a Notary Public is available at the time.

Notary Service charges:

For Roxbury residents, there is no charge for one signature notarization; there is a $1.00 fee for any additional notarizations. 

There is a $2.00/signature fee for all others.

Guidelines

The document(s) should not be signed before arriving at the library.

Valid Government issued photo identification is required in order to have your document(s) notarized.    

The Library does not provide witnesses, and witnesses may not be solicited from library staff or patrons using the Library. In order to serve as a witness, the witness must personally know the patron with the notary request, and show valid photo identification.


New Jersey Notarial Law requires that the Notary Public and the customer be able to communicate directly with each other. Library notaries are not permitted to use translators to communicate with a customer seeking service.


In accordance with the NJ Notarial Law, notaries will not provide service if the customer, document or circumstances of the request for Notary Service raise issues of authenticity, doubt or uncertainty for the Library. In this event, the Library notary at her/his discretion may decline to provide Notary Service.
