They also had some problem with notarizing a document that also required witnesses' signatures. You could try Tim Freeman and the Alcor-North e-mail list. Do you still need 8 signatures? I thought you didn't need to do everything in triplicate any more. There are 8 separate documents? - Carol Shaw At 01:51 PM 6/28/2005, Eliezer S.

If you're in Silicon Valley, there's a notary in the 3rd party postal store (can't remember their name off the top of my head) near San Antonio x El Camino. From that intersection, take San Antonio south (compass-wise, not "logical"); there should be a mostly brown (building theme) shopping center to your right. It's on the southern (again, compass/GPS, not "logical") side of said center, so continue on San Antonio until you're just about to pass it, then hang a right. It's the shop that looks like it handles USPS/UPS/FedEx type stuff. It's been a while since I used their services, so the rates might have gone up, but it wasn't $10 last time.
