Notary

Think of how easy it is to get a document notarized in the US and how cheap it is!  Then think about getting a document notrized "out here".  It started with a search on the Internet for US Consulates in the Caribbean.  Found a Consular Service Office (think about contracted services) and called the number listed.  Found that the office is open 4 hours 3 days per week and you need an appointment.

I called the number listed and spoke with a nice lady and asked what was required for a notarized Power of Attorney.  Bank Draft for $50.00 per signature (ouch) and passport or other Government ID.  So I started checking local banks and the 4th one I checked said that they would do a bank draft for a non account holder.  $50.00 USD paid, $25.00 ECD paid for the draft, come back on Monday to pick it up.

Went ashore yesterday morning and the draft was ready so we hopped a bus for St John's.  Got to the West Bus Terminal and then walked out past the Woods Center to the Consular Services Office.  Quick and easy notary then headed back to town so that I could send the POA.  Found the FedEx Office and for only $57.00 USD the POA is on it's way to Colorado.
