Please note: We are not attorneys licensed to practice law in this state. We are not allowed to draft legal records, give advice on legal matters, including immigration, or charge a fee for those activities. We cannot notarize real estate documents, mortgages, depositions, wills, or documents requiring verification of facts, or certify a “true copy” of a public record or document. Documents may not be hand written, and must already contain a notary certificate with a location for the notary to stamp. We can only notarize documents written in English or Spanish (notary services in Spanish are available by appointment only at Leonardtown Library or on the Mobile Library – call 301-475-2846 to make an appointment).
