Common Questions
What is the County Clerk requirement?
For documents notarized on paper, the County Clerk where the notary is registered must certify the notary's signature first. Electronically notarized documents do not need this step.
Can I walk in?
Yes. Bring your documents to 1025 Capital Center Drive, Suite 201, Frankfort, 8am–4pm Monday to Friday. Walk-in requests are completed while you wait.
