Although it may indeed be illegal, we had great success using notaries on line for a bunch of things we needed. Google them, we paid $20 US each, easy and immediate. Both Oregon and California accepted them with no questions.

I would not want to use the services of a legal authority who would do something that they and I both know “may indeed be illegal”.

This is the kind of thing that can haunt a person for years, wondering whether they will be caught and whatever the process was that required the legal action is potentially rendered void.

Imagine having the probate of a will undone, or the sale/purchase of real estate undone.

When I bought my real estate in Mexico there was a problem. There was a quick and inexpensive way to get it dealt with.

There was a more protracted and costly way to get it dealt with that was the legally correct way. I sleep comfortably knowing that I did the “right thing” that will not come back to bite me.

Looking for a USA notary, here in Zihua that might have their log book and notary stamp with them? I have one signature requirement. I do not need 4 copies. I do not want nor can I use a Mexican Notary for this. Does not matter what State, just a USA registered Notary. Thought I would try, Thank you.....

It's ILLEGAL for U.S. notaries to use their seal to notarize anything outside the USA unless they are registered in D.C. and then only for a very narrow range of purposes. There is a guy here who will do it, but he is breaking the law and I can't recommend him for many reasons. You will have to go to the U.S. Consular Agency in Acapulco or the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City.
