Notarize something??

[Craftlady]

I'd go to the court house or bank.

Assuming you're on a base, there should be notaries available through the post legal office.

I'm trying to figure it out for when we sell my husband's car. It will need to be notarized in Ohio while we are here in Texas. I'm trying to have all the info on hand to make the sale as easy as possible on the buyer. Will any bank notarize or do you need to be a member?

I am sorry Missy, I am a little confused now. Do you want someone in another state to notarize something for you? I think generally what notary's do is notarize your signature as actually being you. So you need to be present and present photo identification. As to you whether a bank will notarize the signature of someone who is not a customer, I think that may vary according the the bank's individual policy. Some may some may not. Why do you need it to be notarized in Ohio if you are not signing over the paperwork in Ohio? I'm sorry if I am getting this all wrong.

Usually the bank will notarize for no fee if you have an account. They will charge a fee if you are not. The fee is small.

You should sign the document IN FRONT OF THE NOTARY....unless they know you well they should require that you do so as that is what they are attesting to.

Kinko's or the like would also likely have a notary.

Most banks have someone who is a notary on staff. You need not be a bank's customer, as notaries are not even allowed to be reimbursed for their services. Most banks, most law offices, and certainly city hall all have a notary public on board, I have a friend who is a notary because her husband is a contractor, and they needed one often for his business paperwork.

I should explain better. The car is in Ohio with my brother. We are here in Texas but need to sell the car. We will need to give someone a power of attorney to sell the car for us but I am trying to figure out where they will need to take both the POA and the title so that they can sign it in front of a notary to transfer the title from our name to the name of the new owners. I have all of the details ironed out about what I have to do to have everything legal and official but I just want to make it more convenient for my brother or the buyer to get the title transfered to the name of the new buyer. Make sense?? I've already spoken with the title office so I am just trying to have a list of places that I can give to the buyer or my brother of places that he can go to get the title transfered to the new owner. THAT must be done in front of a notary WITH the power of attorney that I will be giving them.
Make sense?? It's complicated

Most banks or financial institutions (including law firms) have notaries too. This site may help answer some of your questions:

The maximum a notary may legally charge is $4 per signature, so don't get ripped off.
