Where can i go to get notarized

The UPS Store locations offer notary services to help make life easier. Once your documents are notarized, the center will help you make any necessary copies and ship them where they need to go.

Why do documents need to be notarized?

Certain documents must be notarized in order to have legal effect. Given the inherent formal and corresponding significance of this subject of legal documents that must be notarized, state governments have deemed it necessary to enlist a trained individual to assist with their execution. A "notary public," following his or her official appointment , a notary public performs as a quasi-public officer to attest to the proper execution of these important documents.

Types of documents that may require notarization*:

• Wills
• Trusts
• Deeds
• Contracts
• Affidavits

* Many The UPS Store locations do not notarize I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification forms or Wills. If you need an I-9 Employment Eligibility form or Will notarized, please contact the store first before visiting the store for notary service

Appointments are now required for notary services. To make an appointment, please visit the U.S. Citizens Services Appointment System.

U.S. Consular Officers may provide specific notarial services authorized by relevant U.S. law and Department of State policy for all U.S. citizens. In addition, they can provide services for any person regardless of nationality so long as the document being notarized is required for use within the jurisdiction of the United States and is authorized by relevant U.S. law.

Authentications certify the official seal, signature and/or authority of foreign officials who perform an official act with regard to a document that is to be used in the United States. On September 16, 2021, the Singapore Academy of Law began issuing Apostille Certificates as authentication or “legalisation” of Singaporean documents to be used in other countries, including the United States. The U.S. Embassy does not authenticate documents that already bear an Apostille from the Singapore Academy of Law. For information on authentication of Singaporean documents, please visit the Singapore Academy of Law webpage on Commissioners for Oaths & Notaries Publics, which includes a link to the FAQ on apostilles and authentications.

Fees

The current fee for a Notarial seal is US$50.  For each additional seal required whether it is within the same document or a separate document, the fee is an additional US$50 per seal.  Fees are payable in equivalent Singapore dollars.  Credit cards (Visa, American Express, Diner’s Club and Discover) are accepted.  However, U.S. currency, personal checks and Singapore NET cards are NOT accepted.

Individual Tax Number (ITIN) Applications:

The first pre-2013 ITINs that will expire are those with middle digits of 78 and 79 (Example: 9XX-78-XXXX). The renewal period for these ITINs began October 1, 2016. The IRS began to mail letters to this group of taxpayers in August to inform them of the need to renew their ITINs in order to file a tax return, and explain the renewal steps. The IRS will announce the schedule for expiration and renewal of ITINs that do not have middle digits of 78 and 79 at a future date.

If taxpayers have an expired ITIN, not renewed before filing a tax return next year, they might face a refund delay and be ineligible for certain tax credits, such as the Child Tax Credit and the American Opportunity Tax Credit, until they renew the ITIN. More information is available on the ITIN page at IRS.gov.
