FRCL Notary Services Request

Notary services will be available in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan. Only FRCL employees who hold a valid State of Michigan notary commission will be able to provide notary services. Notary services are on a walk-in basis during regular library hours when a notary is scheduled to work, up to 30 minutes prior to closing or prior to the end of the notary’s shift. FRCL cannot guarantee that a notary will be on staff at all times, therefore patrons should call ahead to verify a notary is present and available. FRCL does not guarantee availability of notary services at any time.

FRCL Notary Public Policy:

A notary public may refuse to perform a notarial act at any time, for any reason (MCL55.285[8]).

Documents the Flat River Community Library will not notarize:

Documents that are already signed
Documents with blank pages, documents or pages not filled in, pages not related to the body of the document, or pages in a language other than English
Blank documents
Homeland Security I-9 Forms
Real estate documents, such as closing documents, mortgages, and deeds
Trust and estate planning documents such as trusts, living wills, wills, codicils
Documents written in any language other than English
FRCL cannot “certify a copy” (e.g., verify that a reproduction of an original is a true, complete, and correct copy of the original)
Notaries cannot certify or notarize that a document/record is an original or true copy of another record, including birth certificates, death certificates, adoption records, or marriage licenses. In Michigan, a notary can only acknowledge the signature of the issuer or holder (person on the document) making a true copy statement on, or attached to, the document.
The notaries retain the right to refer patrons elsewhere if they doubt the validity of the document(s) they are being asked to notarize or are uncomfortable with the person or persons signing the document(s).

Acknowledgments (In an acknowledgment, the notary validates the signer’s identity and the signer confirms to the notary that the signature is his or her signature. Usually the signer signs the document in front of the notary. The notary also asks the signer to confirm that he or she understands the document and is signing it freely and without coercion. An acknowledgment is the most common notarial act.)

Administer Oaths or Affirmations (Jurat) (A jurat is used when a document must have the truthfulness of its contents confirmed under oath. To complete a jurat, the notary validates the signer’s identity and then places the signer under oath. The signer swears or affirms that the statements in the document are true of his or her personal knowledge and then signs the document in front of the notary.)

Witness or Attest to a Signature (The act of witnessing or attesting a signature is like a jurat, except that it does not require the signer to take an oath or affirmation. It is used when establishing the signing date is of major importance.)

In the event a witness is required for my document, I will provide a witness who is known to me personally and will not solicit a witness from library patrons or staff. *
