A notary is someone authorized by the Louisiana Secretary of State to verify and authenticate signatures on official documents. Louisiana requires notarization for certain vehicle transactions to ensure they’re legally valid and properly executed. All FastPass locations offer notary services.

It’s best to sign the document in front of the notary and bring your state-issued ID. If it’s already been signed, that’s okay—the document can still be used. Just be prepared to confirm that the signature is yours, as the notary is required to verify it.

No. Only documents with an original, wet-ink signature can be notarized. Photocopies or scanned copies cannot be notarized.

No. Birth certificates and passports are considered breeder documents and cannot be notarized. Duplicate birth certificates must be requested through the Louisiana Department of Health. Duplicate passports can be requested at www.usa.gov. These documents must always be obtained directly from the issuing agency.
