  • Form 2301-E—General Information (Application for Appointment As Texas Notary Public by Escrow Officer Residing in Adjacent State)
    Form 2301-E—General Information (Application for Appointment as Texas Notary Public by Escrow Officer Residing in Adjacent State) The attached form is designed to meet minimal statutory filing requirements pursuant to the relevant code provisions. This form and the information provided are not substitutes for the advice and services of an attorney. Commentary Notaries Public are governed primarily by Chapter 406 of the Texas Government Code, Chapter 121 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code, and the secretary of state’s administrative rules found in Title 1, Chapter 87 of the Texas Administrative Code. Section 406.005 of the Government Code sets forth the requirements for a notary public application. Although Texas notaries are generally required to be legal residents of Texas, § 2652.051, Texas Insurance Code, authorizes licensed Texas escrow officers, including those residing in states adjacent to Texas, to be commissioned as Texas notaries public. This form is required for both new applications and renewals for applicants who are not legal residents of Texas but who are licensed escrow officers. Texas notaries have statewide jurisdiction. Becoming a Texas notary will not enable you to notarize documents in your home state. Notary commissions are effective on the date of qualification by the applicant. Commissions expire four years after issuance and may be renewed no earlier than 90 days before expiration. Even if your commission has not expired, you must surrender your notary public commission if at any point during your term, you are no longer qualified to hold the office of Texas notary public because you are no longer a licensed Texas escrow officer or you no longer reside in Texas or an adjacent state.

Visit www.facultyoffice.org.uk/notary/find-a-notary/ to find a notary public in the UK and solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk to find a solicitor in the UK.

If you do not have a copy of your UK birth or marriage certificate, you can order a new copy from the General Registrars Office. Please visit www.gro.gov.uk for further information. Step 2: Get your notarised UK document legalised You can get a UK public document ‘legalised’ by asking the UK government to confirm that a UK public official’s signature, seal or stamp on the document is genuine. You might need to do this if a local authority abroad has asked you to provide a document and they’ve said it must be ‘legalised’. You can do this directly through the Legalisation Office: • Getting a document legalised www.gov.uk/get-document-legalised • Getting a document legalised through the post www.gov.uk/pay-legalisation-post • A premium legalisation service for businesses only www.gov.uk/legalisation-premium- service Step 3: If this document is required for use in China - get your legalised document authenticated Once your document has been legalised, the local authority may ask for further authentication of the legalisation documents from the Chinese Embassy in the UK.
