The Township of Washington offers notary services free of charge in the Clerk’s Office for residents of Washington Township. Proper identification is required in order to confirm your identity.
A notary is a publicly commissioned official who serves as an impartial witness to the signing of a legal document. Document signings where the services of a notary are likely include real estate deeds, affidavits, wills, trusts, and powers of attorney. The main reason a notary is used is to deter fraud.
In order for notary services to be effective, documents must be properly executed in the presence of the notary. Please do not sign any documents prior to arrival or before the notary is in front of you to witness your signature.
Please call the Clerk's Office to confirm dates and times the Notary is available.
