On the paperwork there is a spot for a notary, do we actually have to get it notarized? If so, is there a quick/easy way to find a notary?

Thanks.
 
Yes it needs to be notarized if it's your first order. It will be good for three years after that. You will still need to mail in the notary for subsequent orders, but only your signature is required then. Most any bank or real estate office will have a notary and they charge around $10 around here. If you have an account at the bank they may do it for free.
 
Thanks Sheldon.

I have to hit the bank up here soon anyway, I will check then.
 
You may also check the County Court House they will normally have lots of personell who can help.
 
Somekid: Here in Pa, all our State Represenatives and Senators have local offices and will perform notary services free of charge as a courtesy. Call your local office and ask them. By the way my State Senator is Pro-gun!
 
I'm a notary! Just wanted to do that :neener: . Seriously, any bank will have plenty of notaries present that should preform the service free. I can't stand it when people charge to notarize something.
 
When I need to get something notarized I just go to the probate judge's office. One of the lady's there is a notary. Between my CCW permit being through there and how many times I've gotten different things notarized, they about know me by name.

BTW, the CMP order was for a rifle, and being that CMP don't use CCW permits for background info, I handed the notary my GA ID and CCW both so she'd know I wasn't about to commit perjury and cause her to put her seal on a false statement.
 
Often times the town clerks have notary service available for a small fee. Also, many lawyers have notary status.
 
The times I went to the probate judge's office and the lady notorized my stuff, I asked how much I owed her and she said they don't charge. YMMV.
 
dumb question, do I need to have an order form notarized if I go to the CMP store at Camp Perry and buy a rifle in person?

THEMselves. So, I don't need to fiddle with a notary if I stop by the north store to buy the M1 carbines? Nifty. I did it once before with a Garand, but everything was notarized/etc then so I could get in their system, and I"m just a little nervous about doing it again.
 
I went to the local Kinko's copy place

It cost a couple of bucks but I was in and out the door in 3 minutes so I was good with that.

I was sort of expecting a 3rd degree about what I was doing with the form, what I was buying, (*gasp* a rifle, by mail order?) along with some amount of anti-gun static. But, no joy -- they just checked my driver's license, watched me sign, then did their part. No sweat.

If you belong to a credit union or have certain kinds of accounts at a bank they may do it for free but Kinko's is certainly an option.

I kinda wondered if somebody in the probate judges office would start up too, even though they are the ones who sign off on my CCW as I was talking about back up the thread. Think it has more to do with the fact that not everybody knows about the CMP and understands the process. I figure if I was going to get any "anti-gun static", it would've been after I got the rifle and carried it into the barbershop because my barber/stylist wanted to see it.
 
I was wondering about this. I might want to buy an m1 carbine from them. I looked and the local UPS store seems like it has a notary. That's what google said anyway. I will try going to the bank too.
 
ScottsGT is correct. I went to OH with notarized paperwork and the very pleasant and helpful young lady told me that it was not required since I appeared in person.

I want to see pictures of anything you buy!
