Who Can Notarize Documents In Portland?

The definition of a notary public, according to the National Notary Association (NNA), is “…an official of integrity appointed by state government — typically by the secretary of state — to serve the public as an impartial witness in performing a variety of official fraud-deterrent acts related to the signing of important documents.”

In Portland, many legal documents require a notary to witness the signature of an individual for important real estate transactions and transferring individual financial responsibility to another family member. You may even require a notary public for international travel. A notary public stamp signifies that the identity of the signer has been verified, or they have sworn an oath, to be a true person, and that they signed on their own free-will and are aware of what they are signing.

Most of us would search for a notary in Portland by searching the internet. When selecting a notary, verify that they have error and omissions insurance, are licensed in the State of Oregon, and that they are available at a time convenient to you. You also want to ensure that they have a current background check completed by the National Notary Association, or NNA. Rates will vary based on experience and travel time, but they cannot charge you more than $10 per stamp.
