Do you need to have your signature on a document notarized?

During regular business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., exclusive of holidays), the Town of Leesburg offers free notary services at Town Hall (25 West Market Street). Please call the Town Hall Receptionist at 703-777-2420 to ensure that a notary will be available when you arrive.

If you have three (3) or more documents that need to be notarized, you must call to reserve your appointment. Appointments for three (3) or more documents are only available between 12-1 p.m. on weekdays, exclusive of Town holidays.

Please note that if a document requires that witnesses be present when the document is signed, the individual must provide their own witnesses. Virginia codified law for notaries defines a "credible witness" as an honest, reliable, and impartial person who personally knows an individual appearing before a notary and takes an oath or affirmation from the notary to confirm that individual's identity. Town staff is not able to act as witnesses for documents to be signed.

Please review the Rules on Which Documents Can or Cannot be Notarized and Identification Requirements for the Notary prior to your visit to Town Hall.
