Accessing a Notary for US Business in Ireland

This post is for anyone who might have a need to get some US documents notarized by a US Notary of the Public for any reason while living in Ireland. No use to anyone else.

What you need to do:
1. Go online to the US Embassy site and schedule an appointment online and print it.
2. Turn up for the appointment with picture i.d. which is also signed by yourself.
3. Bring credit card or $50 or equivalent in Euros per sheet to be notarized - exact amount in cash, no change given.

What I did:
1. Got the information/docs too late.
2. Scheduled the appointment with a Notary at the Embassy for the next available date which was, at the time, one week later.
3. Established that this date one week later was too late.
4. Called and talked to a person/man on the phone at the Embassy. Accepted the information he gave me as the truth, i.e. that if you need a notarization in a hurry you may go to the Embassy and wait in line - NOT SO.
5. Went to Embassy (4 hours drive) to be greeted with the info. that Notaries are available ONLY by appointment.
7. Explained the previous 5 points to the very nice lady at the Embassy who said that she would do her best for me in the circumstances.
8. waited in the Embassy from 9.30 a.m. to 1.30 p.m. for a notary to be available.
9. Got the docs notarized in minutes.
10. Walked approximately 100 yards to Post Office and sent the docs through An Post and DHL on a 1 to 2 day delivery arrangement.
