Notary Services

The Mansfield Public Library has a notary public on staff who is available to perform brief notarial services by appointment only.

 


To schedule an appointment, or to verify that your document meets the Massachusetts Notary Law requirements, please contact Darcy at
508-261-7380 or dbramley@sailsinc.org.

This service is available most weekdays and Wednesday evenings. 

Be sure to bring a photo ID  (valid driver’s license, valid state ID, U.S.military ID, or current passport). 

Documents to be notarized must be completely filled out, leaving no blanks, however leave the signature line blank. You must sign the document in front of the notary.

The library cannot ensure the availability of witnesses beyond the staff notary public.  If your document requires a witness, please bring them with you.

Because we are not experts in law or finance, we are unable to notarize some documents including: 

  • Immigration forms and certificates, passports, and visas
  • Copy certifications
  • Powers of attorney, wills, and trusts
  • Real estate transactions (deeds, mortgages)
  • Vital records (birth, marriage, and death certificates)

Please call in advance to verify that your document can be notarized at the library if you have any doubts. For more information on state guidelines, click HERE.

This service is provided free of charge.

If the library’s notary is not available, the Mansfield Town Clerk’s Office offers notary services free of charge. Please contact them at 508-261-7345.

Additionally, banks, office supply stores, and shipping and mailing services sometimes offer notary services, but may charge a fee.
