Power of Attorney Notary in Salem, Oregon
We do not have an office in Salem, so for a power of attorney our mobile notary comes to you: at home, at a care facility or at your workplace. We are in Salem often, because we hand-deliver Oregon apostille requests to the Secretary of State there. See all our power of attorney notary services in Oregon.

What banks and agencies look for
- The notary certificate. It must show the date, the county, the notary’s signature and a clear seal. We complete it in full.
- The original, not a copy. Many banks want to see the original notarized document, and some keep a copy on file.
- Their own form. Some banks, the IRS and the Oregon DMV have their own power of attorney forms for their transactions. Ask them which they accept before you sign.
- Matching names. The name on the power of attorney should match the photo ID the principal shows.
We are notaries, not lawyers. We do not draft the document or advise on its wording; we check identity and witness the signature.
Powers of attorney going abroad
If the agent will use the power of attorney in another country, it usually needs an apostille after notarization. We file it with the Oregon Secretary of State in Salem ourselves: $195 for the first document, usually ready in 1 to 5 business days. See apostille service in Salem.
Health care decisions are made through an advance directive, not a power of attorney; see advance directive notary.
