The Town of Indian Shores has licensed professional notary publics who are here to make life easier. After your documents are notarized, we will make you any necessary copies.
Why do documents need to be notarized?
A notary public acts as an impartial third-party witness to not only the signature of a document, but also that all parties who sign a document do so willingly and under their own free will.
