In many states, and in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, documents which are notarized in New York State must have a County Clerk's certificate attached verifying that the notary public's commission was valid at the time the document was notarized.

        Our office can obtain this certification for you.  If you need a notary's signature certified in New York state, send us the original document with a money order in the amount of $65.00 ($80.00 if you want it returned to you by express overnight mail).   We will have the county clerk attach their certificate to your document and we will send it back to you by priority mail (or express mail, if you select that option.)  Please make the money order payable to "Jose Luis Torres, Esq." and mail to 299 Broadway, Suite 1203A, New York, New York 10007-1957.  Personal checks are accepted by there could be an additional delay of seven days for processing.

        If you have any questions, please feel free to call us.  We'll be glad to discuss this procedure with you.

        We also obtain certifications in other states.  Just call us or e-mail us at help@jtlegal.com with the county and state of the notary's commission, and we'll let you know what it will cost and how long it will take to obtain the certification.
