Notary Services

A notary public is an officer commissioned by the Michigan Secretary of State. Notarization on a document certifies that the person whose signature is entered on the document appeared before the notary, displayed valid identification and signed the document in the notary's presence. Documents sent out-of-state may require an embossed notary seal.

The City has several staff members who are notaries. A valid drivers license or State ID must be present when requesting notary services.

Beginning July 1, 2018 Notary services are offered FREE up to the first 10 documents to City of DeWitt residents and businesses. After the tenth document there will be a charge of $0.50 per document thereafter.

Beginning July 1, 2018 Notary services for non-residents and non-city businesses will be charged $5.00 for the first 10 documents and $0.50 per document thereafter.
