RickS Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 It is my understanding that only the US Consulate can legally norarize paperwork IN Mexico. Anyone else is NOT in the State wherein they are ‘licensed’ to be a Notary, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVGRINGO Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 A Notario can do it, and it is legal by international treaty. Whoever said that it had to be a US notary public is wrong. You can only use a US notary in the USA and in his local jurisdiction. The exception is a consular notarization at the US Consulate in Guadalajara. We have used Notaria #5 in Chapala for US transactions, including a real estate sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxMan Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 The US Consulate comes to LCS once a month and will do notaries. I think the details are on the consulate webpage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PULELEHUA Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Whether using a Notario will fly is entirely dependent on the US based entity asking you to have the document notarized. Best to ask the requester whether they will accept notarization by a Notario in Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it appears that many of them are unaware of international arrangements and their obligation to abide by them. In the USA, a notary has no legal competence; just a seal. To use one outside of his jurisdiction could cause serious consequences, if a document were ever reviewed and questioned, and render the transaction void, with possible fraud charges. A Mexican Notario is a specialized attorney, with special training, appointed by the State to handle important matters regarding real estate, wills, etc. Their notarization of a document is a serious matter and the seal is rather impressive. We have never had one even questioned in the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
