Power of Attorney Notary in Woodburn, Oregon
Many powers of attorney signed in Woodburn are going to Mexico: to sell or manage land, to deal with a bank, or to let a relative handle paperwork there. A U.S. document needs a notarization and then an apostille before Mexico will accept it. Pac Signing Notary does both, and translates the document if it is only in English.

A power of attorney for Mexico, step by step
- Get the text from Mexico. The lawyer or notary public in Mexico who will use it usually sends the wording, often in Spanish or in two columns, Spanish and English.
- Sign in front of our notary with a current government photo ID, such as a passport or a driver license.
- We get the apostille from the Oregon Secretary of State in Salem, delivered by hand: $195, usually 1 to 5 business days.
- Translation if needed. If the document is only in English, we provide a certified Spanish translation for $65 per page.
- You send the original to Mexico.
Our notary or the Mexican consulate?
You have two ways to do it. The Mexican consulate in Portland can prepare a power of attorney before the consul, which Mexico accepts directly, but it needs an appointment. Or you sign a U.S. power of attorney with us and we add the apostille; the timing depends on you, not on consulate appointment slots. Ask the person in Mexico which they prefer.
Note: a notary public in Oregon is not a lawyer and cannot give legal advice or prepare the document for you.
