Public Notary

Mukwonago Community Library offers free notary services to the public. Notary services are provided by appointment only at this time. Please call (262) 363-6411 to determine if a notary is available.

People seeking notarizations must bring with them their unsigned documents, valid photo identification, and any witnesses required. The Library cannot provide witnesses. Photo IDs must be current and in a language the notary understands. If an ID is not familiar to the notary, the notary has the option to refuse acceptance.

Please be aware that MCL notaries follow these guidelines:

• Notaries may decline to notarize a document if it is prepared in an unfamiliar format to the notary.
• Notaries may decline to notarize a document if they are uncertain of the identity or mental capacity of the signer.
• Notarizations of wills and deeds are done solely at the discretion of the notary.
• Notaries do not act as authorized representatives for employers to verify employment eligibility.
• By law, Wisconsin notaries are not authorized to certify true copies of birth, death, or marriage certificates.
• Photo identification should be provided by all signers. Acceptable forms of ID include:
  • United States passport
  • Certificate of United States citizenship
  • Certificate of Naturalization
  • State-issued Driver’s License
  • State-issued Identification Card
  • Uniformed Services Identification Card.
• Documents presented must be in English and able to be read by the Notary Public on duty.

A notary public is not trained or certified to practice law. Therefore, notaries are unable to provide assistance in prescribing or determining the particular document a customer may need; selecting the type of notarization or certificate for a given document; preparing a document, or giving advice on how to fill out, draft, or complete a document, or providing legal counseling or advice in a legal matter that may or may not involve a notarial act.
