Notarials
Notarial services are available for all nationalities by appointment

The U.S. Embassy in Paris and Consulates in Marseille and Strasbourg provide notarial services like a notary public in the United States. 

However, appointment availability is extremely limited and we cannot offer emergency appointments, so it is important that you are aware of other options including online notaries for getting your documents notarized.

Notarization at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate

Notarizing officers are not attorneys and are unable to provide legal advice.  Before you decide to try to book an appointment for a notary service at the U.S. Embassy or the Consulates in Marseille or Strasbourg, it is vital that you check whether or not we are able to notarize your type of document.
