Notaries Public

Pursuant to Governor Ige’s mandate to practice social distancing, all “in person” Notary Office services have been suspended until April 2, 2020.  Due to the reduction of on-sight resources, the Notary Office will respond to your inquiries as soon as possible.  Please email at [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The Notary Office will continue to process applications, renewals and other matters submitted through the Online Notary Public website at: notary.ehawaii.gov or by email at:  [email protected].
