Massachusetts Notaries Public hold a unique power: the authority to issue subpoenas and summonses. This authority is equivalent to that of a District Court judge for compelling witnesses to appear and testify.
Most notaries will never be asked to issue a subpoena or summons. These documents must be prepared and issued in strict accordance with court and agency rules, and any deviation can result in the subpoena or summons being rejected or invalidated. For that reason, this task is best handled by legal professionals who understand the procedural requirements.

We are authorized to draft, issue, and serve subpoenas in matters pending before any Massachusetts court or government agency. Our notaries public who are also degreed paralegals bring the training and practical experience required to prepare subpoenas accurately, professionally, and in full compliance with all applicable rules.
This service is performed in accordance with M.G.L. c. 222 § 17, which requires that a notary public be duly qualified, trained, or experienced in a professional field before selecting, drafting, or completing documents related to that field. Because our notaries are also paralegals, or other legal support professionals, they fully meet—and consistently exceed—this statutory standard.
This authority makes Massachusetts notaries valuable resources for attorneys, businesses, and individuals who need legally enforceable testimony or document production.
