Commissioned Notary Service

In New York, Notaries Public are “commissioned” (i.e., licensed) by the Secretary of State. Notarial functions include:
• administering oaths and affirmations;
• taking affidavits and depositions;
• receiving and certifying acknowledgments or proof of such written instruments as deeds, mortgages and powers of attorney; and;
• demanding acceptance or payment of foreign and inland bills of exchange, promissory notes and obligations in writing, and protesting the same for non-payment

WE CANNOT NOTARIZE:

• Just the signature page of a document without seeing the rest of the document.
• Documents that have incomplete sections, blank spaces or blank lines anywhere above your signature area that are not marked as a separate “Office Use Only” section, crossed out or filled in with N/A. We are notarizing the signing a statement, so the statement cannot be incomplete. We can fill in blanks with N/A, ad the other party can fill them in on a second, blank form, considered a separate part.
