Chase offers notary services at most branches, but availability and hours vary by location

Many Chase branches do have a notary public on staff, and the service is free for Chase customers. However, not every branch offers it, and you may need to call ahead or make an appointment. Chase does not advertise notary availability online in a searchable database, so your best move is to contact your local branch directly and ask whether they have a notary available and what documents they can notarize.

If your branch does not have a notary or their hours do not work for you, Chase can usually refer you to a nearby alternative. Some branches partner with UPS Store locations or other local notaries, and staff can point you in that direction.

Key Takeaways

  • Most Chase branches have a notary public available during business hours, and the service is free for account holders.
  • Availability is not may provide at every location, so call your branch before you go or ask about scheduling an appointment.
  • Chase notaries typically handle common documents like powers of attorney, affidavits, and loan paperwork, but some restrictions apply.
  • If your branch cannot help, ask the staff for a referral to a nearby notary or UPS Store location.

How to learn about your Chase branch has a notary

Call your local Chase branch directly and ask whether they have a notary public available. Have your account number ready, and let them know what document you need notarized so they can tell you whether they can handle it. Some branches require an appointment, especially if the notary is busy or works limited hours.

You can find your branch phone number on Chase's website by entering your ZIP code. If you do not have a local Chase branch nearby, you can ask whether they offer notary services at a different location in your area or whether they can refer you elsewhere.

What documents Chase notaries can and cannot notarize

Chase notaries can handle most common documents: powers of attorney, affidavits, loan applications, mortgage paperwork, and signature verification on legal forms. They cannot notarize documents that require them to witness the signing itself if you are not present, and they cannot notarize documents they have a financial interest in (for example, a loan document where Chase is the lender).

Bring a valid government-issued photo ID when you go. The notary will verify your identity, watch you sign the document, and apply their seal and signature. The whole process usually takes a few minutes.

What to bring when you visit

Bring the document you need notarized and a valid government-issued photo ID — a driver's license, passport, or state ID card. If the document is already partially filled out, bring it as is. If you have not signed it yet, do not sign it before you arrive; the notary needs to watch you sign.

If you are notarizing a document on behalf of a business or organization, bring documentation showing your authority to sign on their behalf. For powers of attorney or other legal documents, bring any copies or supporting paperwork the other party requested.

Cost and whether you need to be a Chase customer

Chase notary services are free for Chase account holders. If you do not have a Chase account, some branches will still notarize documents for a fee, but policies vary by location. Call ahead to ask whether your branch notarizes for non-customers and what they charge.

You do not need to use your Chase account for the document being notarized — the free service applies to any document, whether it involves Chase or not. The only requirement is that you hold an active account with the bank.

Alternatives if your Chase branch cannot help

If your branch does not have a notary or their hours do not work for you, ask the staff for a referral. Many Chase locations partner with nearby UPS Store locations, which offer notary services for a fee (usually $5 to $15 per signature). Some libraries, credit unions, and law offices also provide notary services, and some charge nothing.

You can search for notaries in your area through the National Notary Association's website or by searching "notary public near me" online. If you need the document notarized quickly, mobile notaries will come to your home or office, though they typically charge more than in-person services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a document notarized at Chase on the same day?

Many branches can notarize documents the same day if you walk in during business hours and the notary is available. However, some branches require an appointment, especially if the notary works part-time or the branch is busy. Call ahead to confirm they can see you without an appointment or to schedule a time that works.

What if I need a notarized copy of a document, not just the original?

Chase notaries can notarize copies of documents, but the rules depend on what the document is. For some documents, the notary may need to see the original to verify it is authentic before notarizing a copy. Ask your branch what they require before you bring in your paperwork.

Can Chase notarize documents for a mortgage or loan with another bank?

Yes. Chase notaries can notarize documents for mortgages, loans, or transactions with other lenders. The restriction applies only when Chase itself is the lender or has a financial interest in the transaction.

Do I need an appointment to get something notarized at Chase?

It depends on the branch. Some locations handle notarizations on a walk-in basis during business hours, while others require an appointment. Call your branch to ask about their process and whether you should book a time in advance.
