Notary Services
Consular Officers perform notary services customarily provided by Notaries Public in the U.S. Persons requiring such services should visit the Consular Section during regular office hours. Please note that a consular officer cannot witness a will. Note also that a consular officer cannot certify that documents are valid or that statements made are true.

Witnesses, if necessary. Please note that no US government employee may act as witness for notarial services performed at the Embassy.
