The process of becoming a notary is simple. Many banks, tax offices, law offices, , and other companies provide notary services, although they may need you to join or use their services before notarizing your document. You can also call a notary at your local US Post Location, FedEx, or UPS office; notaries are frequently located there.
Traveling notaries can come to you if you are unable to leave your house or business.
Obtaining an apostille on your own is substantially more complicated. Determine if your document requires an apostille signing agent from the issuing state or the federal government as the first step. Then there's the government's bureaucracy to deal with.
