Notary Public Services

Overview

Notary services are available during normal business hours. We do not perform electronic notary services. The fee for notarizing a document is $5 per seal.

Two valid forms of identification are required. Please wait to sign the document in front of the Notary Public.

The Town Clerk's office does not notarize documents that will be recorded on any town's land records, mechanic's liens, wills/living wills/trusts/POA, I-9 employment verification forms, or documents asking us to state that a person is of sound mind. We do suggest that you visit a trusted attorney to fill the above notary needs.

Note: Documents being sent to certain countries may need the Apostille or Authentication of the Secretary of the State in addition to that of the Town Clerk.

Visit the Connecticut Secretary of the State's Website for more information.

The Town Clerk's office also maintains the official files on Notary Publics, and anyone becoming a Notary Public must record their commission or renewal, and any changes of name or address as well. Fees for recordings and changes are:

• Recording New or Renewal Notary Commission: $20
• Change of name and, or change of address within town: $15
• Change of address within town, but no change of name: Free
• Authenticating the signature of a notary: $5

The Office of the Secretary of the State now offers Notary Public Licensing applications and renewals online through the State's eLicense System.
