ATTENTION NOTARIES
Our office has partnered with the Montgomery County Prothonotary to swear in Montgomery County notaries via video conferencing. To sign up for a time slot, notaries need to have an executed bond, power of attorney and their driver’s license. Sign up for your time slot here. After signing up you will receive an automatically generated confirmation of your time. A day before your online video conference you will receive a Cisco WebEx invitation to join the meeting at your reserved time.
Important Note due to COVID-19: You must pay the notary recording fee by check or money order. We are not accepting cash or credit cards at this time.
Notaries with questions can call the Recorder of Deeds office at 610-278-3289.

Changes include an education requirement for ALL notaries; examination by a registered Pennsylvania Department of State examination vendor; changes to the notary stamp; and many other changes. Notaries are encouraged to read more about these important changes at www.dos.pa.gov/notaries.Process for Swearing in as a Notary Public
