What is an Advance Directive?
An Oregon advance directive lets you name a health care representative and record the treatment you do or do not want if you cannot speak for yourself. Signing one now spares your family from guessing at a hard moment.

Steps to Notarize Your Advance Directive with Pac Signing
Prepare Your Document
Download the official Oregon advance directive form from a trusted source or get one from your healthcare provider.
Book an Appointment
Contact us to schedule a convenient time for notarization. We offer mobile notary services and can come to your home, hospital, or another location.
Sign and Notarize
During the appointment, we will ensure that you and your witnesses sign the document correctly. We’ll then notarize the form, verifying the authenticity of your signatures.
Distribute Copies
After notarization, make sure to distribute copies of your advance directive to your healthcare representative, physician, and any other relevant parties.
Why Notarizing an Advance Directive is Important in Banks, Oregon
Oregon accepts either two qualified adult witnesses or a notary public. A notarized directive is easy to rely on later, because the notary has checked the signer’s identity and that they are signing willingly. We can do either, or both at one visit.
We Provide Mobile Witnesses for Your Advance Directive
In Banks, Oregon, your advance directive must be signed in front of two qualified adult witnesses or a notary public. Pac Signing brings both to your appointment. If you use witnesses, Oregon law says they must be adults and cannot be:
- your attending doctor or health care provider
- the person you name as your health care representative or alternate
If you live in a long-term care facility, one of the witnesses must be someone the facility designates.
Pac Signing understands how challenging it can be to find qualified witnesses, which is why we offer a two-witness mobile service for advance directives. This service ensures that you meet Oregon’s legal requirements without having to coordinate witnesses yourself. Our mobile notary and witness services ensure that all legalities are addressed in a single, convenient visit.
Who Needs an Advance Directive?
Adults of any age can make an advance directive. In rural areas, where a hospital may be a long drive away, it helps to have one signed in advance.
Local help. Washington County Disability, Aging and Veteran Services (855-673-2372) serves rural parts of the county too, with information on home care and long-term care. You can download the Oregon Advance Directive form from the Oregon Health Authority. A notary cannot choose your wording or advise you on it, but we can witness or notarize the finished form.
