Notary Public Services by appointment

Policy

The Valley Cottage Library offers notary public services for the benefit of the community. This service will be available when our NYS commissioned staff member(s) is on duty. Therefore, availability of notary services is dependent on his/her schedule.

The following guidelines will be followed in the provision of Notary Service:

• Only English language documents may be notarized.

• Valid photo identification is required of any customer seeking Notary Service

• Notaries will not provide service if the customer, document or circumstances of the request for Notary Service raise any issue of authenticity, ambiguity, doubt or uncertainty for the Notary. In this event, the Notary may, at their sole discretion, decline to provide Notary Service.

• Notary Service is by appointment only.
