MyHomeSweetHome Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Has anyone had a document notarized recently at the US Consulate lately? They're coming Wednesday, contacted them for current fees via email. Email response said they'll answer within 1-2 working days. Ok, so they may answer after they've been here.

lcscats Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 If you have not gone to a US consulate be aware security is very very strong. For example no bringing any electronics inside including key fobs. Big sign where you go in explains. Across the street you can rent a locker or you can do what we do is I stay outside with all my wifes forbidden stuff. . You can have documents notarized at LCS or the American Legion once a month when the consulate comes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She only charges 300 pesos, and she said that most the time the MN notary is accepted and not challenged, even when other US addresses are on the document. If it is challenged, all you have to do is say that you were visiting someone in Minnesota when you got the document and got it done there. I'm going to give it a go because it's MEGA easier and cheaper than the US Consulate. I'll report back on how it goes. Her info is: Deleted by Moderator per request of the lady you recommended Moderator5 You're kidding I assume. Would be a good post for Saturday if you still celebrate that April 1 day.

Here's news pappy, no one will be the wiser as to WHERE the notary stamp was actually applied. That is of course unless some goody, goody like you gets all righteously indignant and tries to blow the whistle. Otherwise, you feel "free" to go be bent over and pay the US Consulate's $50 ransom for the same service. Sheez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says right on all Notary Forms where it is signed in most states. Sheez yourself. Also it is 50/dollars per signature so two signatures costs a hundred bucks at the US consulate and many forms have more than one signature. I get my info from my wife who was a Mobile Notary, real estate broker and a lawyer. We pay the money to be sure and you can do whatever you want. Maybe remote signing are legal and maybe they are not but you are not going to find out with legal advice from this board. Yep the charge at the consulate is ridiculous especially charging for each signature. It especially bothers me we can't use a mexican notary even when international law says we should be able. Just went through all this with a county in Cali over a real estate transaction. It was US consulate or go to Cali with no other choices. They just can't be bothered to follow the law.

Prudent Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 We used an attorney in Singapore to notarize our house sale in the US. It cost a lot more than $50 USD. It's just part of life as an expat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
