Jonesboro, Arkansas document errands: printing, fax, notary, passports and certified copies (2026)

Where to print, fax, notarize, apply for a passport and get certified copies in Jonesboro, Arkansas, using only official and provider pages. Each fact links to its source. Some facts are statewide or national rather than local. We label those.

Printing, copying, scanning and fax

Craighead County Jonesboro Public Library

• Printing: 10¢ a page for black and white and 50¢ for color. Adult Services staff in the library's business center can help with the public computers, Wi-Fi and printing ^[1].
• Fax: $1.00 a page; ask at the Adult Services desk near the Book Shop ^[2].
• Copies and scanning: we didn't find photocopy or scanning prices on the library's pages.

See printing prices and fax prices.

Notary in Jonesboro

• Library (free): the library provides free basic notary services ^[3]. Its pages differ on how to get one: the notary page says to call (870) 935-5133, ext. 9968, for availability and hours ^[3], while the FAQ says free walk-in notary service is offered every day until 15 minutes before closing ^[2]. Confirm with the office before you go. Notary service ends 15 minutes before closing ^[3].
• What to bring: a physical, valid government-issued photo ID that exactly matches the signer's name, and unsigned, completed documents in English or Spanish with a jurat or acknowledgment. Bring your own witnesses if needed ^[3].
• What the library won't notarize: real estate documents (including refinances and quitclaim deeds), wills, I-9 and other employment eligibility or Homeland Security forms, documents in a language other than English, and auto titles without the buyer's name and address ^[3].
• Fees (statewide): Arkansas sets no dollar amount. The Secretary of State's 2025 Notary Handbook says Arkansas notaries "are not required to charge for their services"; if a notary does charge, the amount must be reasonable and disclosed to and agreed upon by both you and the notary before the notarial act, citing A.C.A. § 21-6-309. The same rule applies to electronic notaries ^[10].
• ID and records (statewide): the handbook says Arkansas law doesn't specify "acceptable" identification and recommends a current ID card with the signer's picture and signature. The law doesn't require notaries to keep a journal, though the handbook recommends one ^[10].

Passports in Jonesboro

The U.S. Department of State's Passport Acceptance Facility Locator data lists 1 facility in Jonesboro, with photos on site. The Census Geocoder places it inside Jonesboro city ^[4][11]:

• Walk-ins: the locator notes "Walk in services Wednesday and Friday 8:30-10:00" ^[4].
• Post office: the locator says to schedule a passport appointment or check other acceptance times at usps.com ^[4].
• Library: we didn't find the library in the locator data ^[4].
• Post office fees (national): a $35.00 acceptance fee and a $15.00 photo fee "if needed" ^[12].

Birth, death, marriage, court and recorded-document copies

Birth, death, marriage and divorce records: Arkansas Department of Health (statewide)

Certified copies of marriage and divorce records are $10 per copy ^[15][16]. If no record is found, state law requires ADH to keep the first-copy fee ($12 for births, $10 for the others) as a search fee ^[5][14][15].
• Online and phone (statewide): orders through ADH's online vendor add a $5.00 processing fee and a $1.85 identity verification fee, plus any expedited shipping; ADH says online birth certificate orders take 7–14 business days plus shipping. Phone orders: (866) 209-9482 ^[5][15].

You can also order a birth certificate at a local health unit ^[5]. Walk-in payment: cash, credit or debit card, or a check or money order to the Arkansas Department of Health (no temporary checks) ^[5].
• By mail (statewide): send the application, a check or money order (no cash) and a copy of acceptable ID to ADH Vital Records, Slot 44, 4815 West Markham Street, Little Rock, AR 72205; allow 10–14 days plus mail time ^[5].

• Craighead County LHU: 611 E. Washington Ave., Suite B, Jonesboro, AR 72401; 870-933-4585 ^[17][18].
• What to expect: ADH says you can order a birth certificate at a local health unit ^[5], and the Circuit Clerk's FAQ also points to the Craighead County Health Department ^[19]. We didn't find hours on the unit listing; call ahead. The Census Geocoder places the unit inside Jonesboro city ^[11].

• Statewide: we didn't find a statewide circuit court copy fee schedule.

Apostilles (statewide)

• Fee: the Arkansas Secretary of State charges $10 per document for an apostille and $5 per document for a certification. It lists no expedite fee and says it strives to process requests within 24–48 hours of receipt ^[22]. A 4% convenience fee is added to credit and debit card payments ^[23].
• Where to send it (two offices, both in Little Rock): documents with an elected official's seal, such as marriage licenses, divorce decrees and judgments, go to the Elections Division, State Capitol, Room 026, (501) 682-5070 or (800) 482-1127. State agency documents and notarized documents, such as diplomas, transcripts and birth, marriage and death certificates, go to the Business & Commercial Services Division, 1401 West Capitol Ave., Suite 250 (one block east of the Capitol), (501) 682-3409 or (888) 233-0325. You can submit by mail or in person, and either office can help if you have both kinds ^[22].
• Which copy: a notarized photocopy of a birth certificate isn't accepted; it must be the original or a certified copy from ADH Vital Records. Immigration, citizenship and U.S. Department of State documents can't be apostilled by the state ^[22].
• Payment and return: cash, check or money order to the Arkansas Secretary of State; Business & Commercial Services also takes cards, but the Elections Division doesn't. You don't need a return envelope unless you want express return, which needs a prepaid air bill ^[22].
