No. Most banks restrict their notary services to bank customers and documents related to banking transactions, making it difficult for non-customers to get non-bank documents notarized. Banks often have explicit policies against notarizing third-party legal documents, especially family estate planning forms, due to liability concerns.

Why Banks Refuse Non-Customers:

Banks treat their notary services as a convenience for account holders only. When they do notarize for non-customers, they typically limit services to simple acknowledgments and avoid complex or unfamiliar documents. Many banks refuse to notarize documents they didn't prepare or review, viewing outside documents as potential legal risks.

📋 Common Scenarios Non-Customers Face:

• You need a family power of attorney notarized but don't bank at the institution
• Your bank will notarize but only for account holders with minimum balance requirements
• The document is estate planning or trust-related—outside typical bank notary scope
• You live in a different city and your bank has limited notary availability

⚠️ Important Considerations:

Nevada law permits notaries to decline notarization for many reasons, and banks regularly exercise this right. Bank notaries may also lack experience with specialized documents. Seek a licensed mobile notary experienced with estate planning. Professional notaries throughout Henderson and Las Vegas provide flexible alternatives that accept all document types and serve non-customers daily.
