Joyfull Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Ran across this and thought it might be of interest. Maybe Spencer can chime in as to the legality. http://notarize.com/#demo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexy Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 That is interesting. I was about to post a question asking if there is a local American notary who could notarize some bank documents for me to send back to the States. Is this possible?

RVGRINGO Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 The site indicates that you have to live in the USA. Using a US Notary outside of his US jurisdiction, usually a county or state, while you are in Mexico is not legal. You have two choices: Use a Mexican Notario, which is legal by treaty, or use the US Consular agent in Guadalajara or at his monthly visit to Chapala or Ajijic. Those are the only legal options that I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigd Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 The problem RV is that most, if not all courts in the United States find the Treaty that you always refer to has very little legitimacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lulugirl Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Then use the US Consulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexy Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Thanks everyone for the suggestion to use the US Consulate. Lexy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoylecare Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 US CONSULATE office address in Guad, also do you need an appointment to use Mexican notario of US escrow documents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just walk in and ask about the availability of the notario. The US Consulate is a royal PIA and then as a "Service" to citizens abroad, they charge $50 USD. The Mexican notario will be much less.

pappysmarket Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 I would check first with whoever wants (demands) your signature to be notarized. They might accept that electronic deal even though you don't reside in the US or they might accept a Mexican Notario, the worst they can say is no. Otherwise, getting something "Notarized" by any unlawful method could result in something bad happening, regardless of what the "odds" are of it happening. Penny wise and pound foolish.

RVGRINGO Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 A Mexican notario is perfectly legal, by treaty, and will be accepted by all but the most ignorant or prejudiced bumpkins NoB. We have used them for real estate transactions and deeds for property sold NoB and had no refusals of the documents. We did not ask them first, either. It is not their choice to accept or refuse.

El Saltos Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 I too have used my Notario multiple times on various things needed NOB. Never had an issue. Last one was sale of a house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopsy Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 We needed a Mexican notario for two different documents, one time it was 1800 pesos and the second 2000 pesos, a little more than $50US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure were easy. Obviously you had more than a mere signature witnessed, a service that is $5 in Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappysmarket Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 When we wound down a real estate deal 3 years ago that didn't work out here in PV, the other party wanted our signatures notarized. Fine, you pay and off we went to his Notario. Both signatures needed as well as both of theirs. $5000 EACH his Notario exclaimed. Suddenly it was fine going next door to Office Depot where an employee WITNESSED all signatures for $400. Fine either way with us, we were not concerned.
