Notary Services

Notary Services are available at the Brunswick, Thurmont, and Walkersville Branches.

Notary services are typically available regular business hours. Please call ahead to make sure a notary is available.

Fees

• Notary services are free for patrons with an FCPL card.
• For people without a library card, fees are $2 per notary signature.

People seeking notarizations must bring with them their unsigned documents, valid photo identification, and any witnesses (ages 18 years of age or older) required. Library staff cannot serve as witnesses. Photo IDs must be current and in English.

Exceptions to what we can notarize:

• Mortgages or real estate transactions
• Employment verification (IRS form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification)

Notaries are unable to provide service if the customer's document or circumstances of request for Notary Services raises any issues of authenticity, ambiguity, doubt, or uncertainty for the library. In this event, the library Notary may at his/her sole discretion decline to provide Notary Service.
