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.
Where We Sign Advance Directives in Multnomah County
Hospitals. We sign at OHSU Hospital on Marquam Hill, Providence Portland Medical Center on NE Glisan St, Legacy Good Samaritan in Northwest Portland, Legacy Emanuel in North Portland, Adventist Health Portland on SE Market St and Legacy Mount Hood in Gresham. See hospital notary visits.
At home. A mobile visit is $70 for the first 10 miles, plus $2 per mile after that. Our Portland listing is by appointment only, so we come to you.
Care communities. If the signer is a patient in a long-term care facility, Oregon law requires one of the two witnesses to be a person the facility designates, so check with the facility first. Signing before a notary instead avoids that step.
Courthouse. The Multnomah County Central Courthouse is at 1200 SW 1st Ave. You do not need to file an advance directive there.

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 Multnomah County, 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 Multnomah County, 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?
Any adult in Multnomah County can make an advance directive. It is best signed while you are healthy, then shared with your doctor and family.
Local help. Multnomah County’s 24-hour Aging and Disability Resource Connection helpline, (503) 988-3646, answers questions about care at home, long-term care and caregiver support any time of day. The Oregon Advance Directive form itself comes from the Oregon Health Authority. We do not fill it in or give legal advice; we witness or notarize it once you have completed it.
