Notary Public – Where do I find one!?
March 19, 2010
There are a number of legal documents that require a Notary Public’s assistance. In venture capital firms, it is most often legal closing documents that require a notary stamp. It is important that you know of the nearest two notaries. Why two? Because if one is unavailable (vacation, illness, etc.) you will have a back-up. There are a number of places you can look for a Notary Public.
If your office is in a large building with additional companies, you can sometimes find a notary in one of the surrounding offices. If your company often needs documents notarized, or if you typically have trouble finding an available notary, you may want to have an operational support person in your firm become a Notary Public. The process is very easy and straightforward. To see what your state requires for the application process, you can check out the National Notary Associations website under Become a Notary.
Having an in-house notary can really save time and energy in your office. Next week I will fill you in on my experience becoming a Notary Public.
