Need something notarized in Mexico? Online n East Cape
READ TO THE END OF THE THREAD TO GET ALL THE INFO.
Notary Discussion:
To absolutely, legally have a U.S. DOCUMENT notarized~~~the document must be read by an official, U.S. notary. The person having the document
notarized must produce proof legal U.S. citizenship. I took my passport. You then raise your right hand and swear that the document being notarized.
Consulate ground is legally U.S. soil. That is the only LEGAL way...PERIOD!!! (unsigned)
========================================
I, Blanca, got this from The Baja Pony Express. And my question is: Do you have to be at a Consulate or Embassy or can any Legal American Notary
notarize a document wherever you happen to be?
Sounds to me like the person ks declaring one must be on Consulate grounds, but just want a confirmation, if anyone knows. Gracias.

US Notarys can't [that doesn't mean they won't] notarize documents outside of the USA. Consulate grounds are, as you say, US territory.

That's not exactly correct. The Uniform Recognition of Acknowledgements Act, adopted by most states, permits acknowledgements by, among others, a
notary authorized to perform notarial acts in the place where the act is performed; any judge, clerk or deputy clerk of any court of record; or any
foreign service officer.
I don't know if Mexican law permits a foreign notary to acknowledge the signature of a foreign national nor do I know if a notaria publico is
considered a clerk of the court. Worth asking a notaria if you're some distance from Cabo or Tijuana.
As a practical matter, who is going to question an acknowledgment by an American notary?

AS a matter of principal I would not participate in any business deal that was perpetrated buy a lie. such as a Notary lying about where the action
was performed. It could invalidate the whole thing.

Read my post again.
Who suggested that the notary lie?
Under the Uniform Act, if Mexican law allows it, a U.S. notary may acknowledge a signature in Mexico. I think it's unlikely a county recorder or a
title company in the States is going to question such an acknowledgement.

yes I read your post, and I still contend that notary seal is only valid in the state it was issued. WE can what if until the end of time I contend if
it is used anywhere than that state it is issued in. thusly rendering it invalid.

J. P. is correct. As a Notary, I was only allowed to notarize something in the state of California. Your commision is only good in the state it was
issued. Why would a Notary risk using it in Mexico. I do know some have, thats just stupid. Make an appointment with the US Consulate or fly back to
get the papers done right.

The US Consulate in San Jose del Cabo charges $50 per notary.
A couple of years ago a gal was turned in to immigration for notarizing papers in Loreto for Americans - illegal as heck.

Other than working in Mexico without proper papers had she been operating as a business, I can't imagine it being illegal per-se. Invalid, yes, but
illegal? It's such a private transaction, who would know?

You're simply wrong, Bill Collector.
Here is the California statute:
http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=civ&am...
See, in particular, section 1183.
I understand it would be a pain in the neck to have a Mexican judge acknowledge the California's notary actions in Mexico, but it's possible to do it
and it avoids the need to travel to Cabo San Lucas or Tijuana to visit the consulate.

But this for the East Cape is amazing!
a. Notary Discussion:
1) You absolutely CAN get US paperwork notarized right here in LB! Just go to the Notaria in the Plaza del Pueblo and speak to Crystal, who
is agent #22 of the only official notary in all Mexico. She is recognized under the Hague Act as a legal representative to stamp and hologram your
documentation. In April we had her notarize our sale of WA property Title Exchange and it was completed and emailed to us as well as the original
handed to us in 20 minutes to have mailed by a friend flying north. Within 3 days the transfer was finalized, no problema, you don't have to go all
the way to San Jose! The notary fee is $50 USD, Crystal does this all the time. Maine$Cat@gmail.com
