Details
Tonight, online
Sessions run every day, 7 AM to 9 PM ET. Join from a phone or computer anywhere in Essex County, show a current photo ID, sign on screen and download the notarized file before you hang up. Check first that whoever receives the document accepts an electronic notarization.
Tonight, in person in Essex County
A notary can come to you Monday to Friday 8 AM to 8 PM, Saturday 9 AM to 5 PM, with at least 3 hours of notice; you'll see only the times a notary can still cover. Newark is home to the county courthouse and many law firms, so Essex County work mixes attorney-ordered affidavits and estate signings with residential closings in Montclair, West Orange and Livingston. Hospital and rehab visits are frequent here too.
