Notarize a Document

Do you have a personal document that needs to be notarized? The Clerk’s Office has a number of notary signing agents at your service.

In Person

Step 1.About notary services

We have notary signing agents available, by appointment, to notarize documents in person. They're official State of Michigan Notaries Public representatives.  

Notary signing agents are not certified or qualified by the State of Michigan beyond the normal notary application process. A notary signing agent has no special powers, and must adhere to Michigan notary law in all transactions. It is illegal for a notary or a notary signing agent to give legal advice, explain legal documents or aid customer(s) in completing legal or immigration forms. Otherwise, unauthorized practice of law charges may result.

Step 2.Gather your information

You'll need to come to City Hall, by appointment, and bring the document you need notarized along with a photo ID. Make sure you do not sign the document before you see the Notary Public.

Step 3.Prepare your payment

The notary fee is $5.00 per notarial stamp. We accept cash, check or card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover).

Step 4.Visit our office

Appointments are required during regular business hours, Monday - Friday from 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, except public holidays.
