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 Washington County
Hospitals in the county. Hillsboro Medical Center on SE 8th Ave and Kaiser Permanente Westside Medical Center on NE Stucki Ave in Tanasbourne are the two Hillsboro hospitals. Families on the south side often sign at Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center on SW 65th Ave in Tualatin, and Providence St. Vincent on SW Barnes Rd serves the Beaverton side. See hospital notary visits.
At an office. A signer who can travel pays only the $10 notarial fee at either office, with no travel charge. Both are open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm and Saturday 10am to 2pm.
At home or in care. A mobile visit is $70 for the first 10 miles, plus $2 per mile after that. In a long-term care facility, Oregon law requires one of the two witnesses to be a person the facility designates; signing before a notary avoids that step.
Court business. The Washington County Courthouse is at 145 NE 2nd Ave in Hillsboro. An advance directive does not need to be filed there; you keep it and share copies.

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 Washington 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 Washington 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?
Every adult in Washington County can make an advance directive, and it is easiest to do while you are well. It matters most before major surgery, after a serious diagnosis, or when an older parent starts needing more care.
Local help. Washington County Disability, Aging and Veteran Services (855-673-2372) is the county’s free information line for long-term care planning, in-home help and caregiver support. 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.
