Notarial Services

Monday, Tuesday and Thursday
8:00 am – 4:30 pm

Notarial services are available to all U.S. passport holders and to foreign nationals with documents destined for use in the United States. They are executed by Consular Officers and may include documents to be signed before a Consular Officer (Notary Public), statements made under oath, affidavits, and acknowledgments.

Please Bring:

• A valid passport or piece of identity issued by a government agency, such as a driver's license, but NOT a student ID.
• The document to be notarized.
• $30.00, or the Ouguiya equivalent, per initial signature and seal. Each additional signature and seal provided at the same time in connection with the same transaction will cost $20 or the Ouguiya equivalent (consular exchange rate).
• If your document must also be witnessed, please bring your witnesses with you. Consular Officers and staff may NOT be witnesses for notarial purposes.

The basic notarial services that a U.S. consular officer performs are: acknowledgments, attestations, affidavits, and authenticating signatures from the Mauritanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs which notarizes Mauritanian documents.
