Can I get documents notarized in a different state?
I just finished writing my will, medical power of attorney, and durable power of attorney using the forms for my state of legal residence, New Mexico. I'm currently working in Hawaii and want to sign and notarize these documents. Is it legal to notarize these documents out of state?

I've been a notary for over 20 years and I can tell you that states recognize notary stamps from other states, in keeping with the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Was that your only question?

I understand the importance of having your legal documents in order. Have you checked if New Mexico allows out-of-state notarization for these specific documents?
No, how would I find out?
Lexi, Chatbot
Are you planning to use a notary in Hawaii who is familiar with New Mexico's requirements for these documents?
I doubt if I could find someone here.
Lexi, Chatbot
Is there anything else the lawyer should know before I connect you?
No.

Hello, I'm Simmons, Esq., with over 14 years of experience practicing law in multiple states.
I just want to make sure I can notarize the documents I just created in Hawaii tomorrow instead of waiting until I return to New Mexico.
