NY Notary Public Services exists to bridge the gap between complex document requirements and real people who need them handled correctly. We combine modern, government-approved technology with experienced, hands-on support to guide clients through notarization, Apostille, and document services with clarity and care.

We are a New York–based, independently owned document services firm that blends secure digital processes with old-school customer service. While many providers rely heavily on automation or outsourced processing, we remain directly involved at every stage, ensuring accountability, clear communication, and dependable outcomes.

A Foundation Built on Real-World Experience

Our experience is not theoretical — it is the result of more than four decades of hands-on, real-world document work.

NY Notary Public Services is a second-generation, family-run business rooted in our original family operation, Reader Stationery, which opened in 1977 at Ninth Street and University Place in Greenwich Village. For decades, that storefront served New Yorkers not only for everyday retail needs — from stationery and Montblanc pens to Rolodex refills, newspapers, and lottery tickets — but also as a trusted place to ask questions, get guidance, and handle important documents correctly.

Working directly with customers for over 40 years taught us something technology alone cannot replicate: how documents actually move through real institutions, where delays occur, and how problems can be prevented before they start.

Those lessons continue to shape how we operate today.

From Retail Roots to Professional Document Services

As client needs evolved, so did our services.

What began as a neighborhood retail business naturally expanded into professional notary, Apostille, and document services as clients increasingly required support with legal filings, international documentation, court records, and time-sensitive matters.

Our growth did not come from marketing trends — it came from people returning because their documents were handled correctly the first time.

Experience That Shows Up When It Matters

Decades of real-world experience allow us to:

• Identify document issues before submission
• Understand how clerks, courts, and agencies actually process paperwork
• Navigate international requirements efficiently
• Advise clients on the correct format and process from the start
• Reduce rejections, delays, and unnecessary resubmissions

This practical knowledge allows us to move efficiently while maintaining accuracy — especially in high-stakes or time-sensitive situations.

How We Operate Today

Today, NY Notary Public Services supports individuals, law firms, corporations, and international clients across the United States and worldwide.

We use secure, government-approved technology for Remote Online Notarization, identity verification, and digital document handling — allowing eligible documents to be completed without unnecessary travel — while ensuring that every request is reviewed and managed by experienced professionals.

Technology helps us work faster.
Experience ensures we work correctly.

What Sets Us Apart

• Over 40 years of real-world document experience
• Direct communication with knowledgeable professionals
• Clear review processes before work begins
• Secure handling of sensitive legal and personal records
• Reliable follow-through until completion

Many clients come to us after experiencing delays, rejections, or incorrect processing elsewhere. We take that responsibility seriously — because we understand what is at stake.

Our Philosophy

We believe strong customer service and deep experience matter just as much as modern tools.

Our roots in a neighborhood retail business taught us that trust is built one interaction at a time. That same mindset guides us today, whether we are assisting a local client or coordinating documents for international use.

As we continue to grow, our goal remains unchanged: to provide professional, dependable document services backed by decades of real-world experience and personal accountability.

Closing

Every request begins with document review, allowing us to confirm eligibility, timing, and the correct process before work begins.
