Commissioning of Oaths

The City provides commissioning services for certain documents under the Commissioners for Taking Affidavits Act. Not all documents are commissioned by the City. Please review the list of documents the City will or will not commission.

A Commissioner of Oaths is not the same as a Notary Public.  The City does not have a Notary Public on staff and therefore we are not able to notarize documents.  Please contact a local law office to perform this service.

Commissioning services is by appointment only. Commissioners reserve the right to refuse commissioning of any document.
