Notary Public

The Convention Center offers Greater Richmond Center clients the convenience of an on-site notary. A notary is a public servant appointed by state government to witness the signing of important documents and administer oaths. Documents are notarized to deter fraud and to ensure they are properly executed. The notary also serves as an impartial witness and identifies and screens out impostors.
