What is this service?
Ge Chanfon Services provides notary services for individuals and businesses that need to authenticate signatures, make sworn statements, or complete other authorized notarial acts.

In-person notary
In-person service in Odessa, Texas, by appointment. The signer must appear in person with acceptable identification and the corresponding document.
Online notary — Available throughout the United States
