Notary Service

In addition to the rules and regulations that govern notaries, the following guidelines are in place:

  1. Notary service is available to Mountainside residents, to patrons who work in town and can show proof of such employment, and to patrons who have purchased out-of-town memberships. 
     

  2. Notary service is available by appointment.  Walk-in service may also be available.  Because notary service is in addition to the staff member's regular duties, some delays may be possible.
     

  3. Proper identification, such as a driver's license or a Mountainside library card, must be provided.
     

  4. If a document to be notarized must be witnessed by others, the patron must provide the witnesses.  Library staff members are not available to witness documents.
     

  5. Notary will keep a record of all names using this service.
     

  6. No fee will be charged for notary service.
     

  7. Notary has the final decision as to which documents will be notarized.  Notary has the right to refuse to notarize documents if there appear to be any irregularities.
     

  8. Notary does not give legal advice or legal references.
