The Wisconsin Witness Directory is a statewide resource created to help notaries quickly locate reliable, available witnesses for notarizations that require one or more additional people. This includes real estate closings, wills, medical directives, powers of attorney, hospital visits, remote online notarizations (RON), and any appointment where witnesses are mandatory for compliance.
By joining the directory, you support Wisconsin notaries, expand access to compliant notarizations, and make it easier for notaries to connect with trustworthy witnesses in your region.
