What are the duties of a Justice of the Peace in NH?
A Justice of the Peace is a public officer appointed and commissioned by the Governor and Counsil whose function is to administer oaths; to take acknowledgments of deeds and other instruments; to attest to or certify photocopies of certain documents; and to perform other duties specified by law. A Justice of the Peace serves as an impartial witness to facilitate the workings of commerce and law by lending credibility to certain sensitive signed documents. When a document is notarized, the public can be assured that its signer is not an impostor and any contracting parties can be assured that the document they have signed - and no other - will have full force and effect.
As a Justice of the Peace in NH, I am able to notarize documents anywhere in this state.
This includes copy certification if I make the copy or see it being made. I will not certify a copy of a copy, only the original document.
If it is inconvienent for you to come to me I will come to your location for a slight mileage fee. I will travel almost anywhere in Cheshire county and surrounding areas if time permits.
I do have many requests to go to Nursing homes, hospitals, and private homes to assist those unable to travel to a notary.

Sworn statement by a person well known to the notary or JP that the person requesting the notarization is who they say they are.
