Common Questions
What is the County Clerk requirement?
None. The Montana Secretary of State certifies documents bearing the signature of a Montana notary public or other authorized notarial officer directly; there is no separate County Clerk step.
Can I walk in?
Only by advance appointment, after the office has pre-checked your documents: call 406-444-1877. Pre-checked documents can also be dropped off at Room 260, Montana State Capitol, Helena.
