Good to Know

  • Notaries cannot give legal advice.
  • The St. Charles Public Library Notaries do not notarize Cook County real estate documents or
    I-9 forms.
  • Due to Illinois notary law, we are unable to certify copies.
  • Illinois law requires that a Notary and the patron seeking notarization be able to communicate directly with each other. The Library Notary is not permitted to make use of a translator.
  • We have copiers, fax, and computers available for your use.
