Consular notaries


The question occasionally arises on this board of where to find a notary. The answer is usually that one has to return to the U.S. to have a document legally notarized. I recently ran across this section in the U.S. Code requiring U.S. consulate officers to act as notaries on request. Here is the section for anyone who may need it:

TITLE 22--FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE

CHAPTER 52--FOREIGN SERVICE

SUBCHAPTER XIV--POWERS, DUTIES AND LIABILITIES OF CONSULAR OFFICERS
GENERALLY

Sec. 4215. Notarial acts, oaths, affirmations, affidavits, and depositions; fees

Every consular officer of the United States is required, whenever application is made to him therefor, within the limits of his consulate, to administer to or take from any person any oath, affirmation, affidavit, or deposition, and to perform any other notarial act which any notary public is required or authorized by law to do within the United States; and for every such notarial act performed he shall charge in each instance the appropriate fee prescribed by the President under section 4219 of this title.


They charge $50 for this service and more information can be found here: http://travel.state.gov/law/judicial/judicial_2086.html
