Before you schedule your appointment
To ensure a smooth and efficient notarization process, there are a few important things every client should know before their appointment. All signers must present a current, government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license, passport, or state identification card. Unless instructed otherwise, do not sign your documents before your appointment. Many documents must be signed in the presence of the notary. Anyone whose signature requires notarization must be physically present at the time of the appointment and provide proper identification. Please review your documents beforehand and ensure all pages are complete. Missing information may delay the notarization process. If you're unsure whether you need a general notarization, loan signing, witness services, or apostille assistance, please contact us.

Common notary myths and misconceptions
Many people are unfamiliar with the notarization process, so it's common to have questions about what a notary can and cannot do. Here are a few of the most common misconceptions we help clarify: Myth: A notary can provide legal advice. Fact: Notaries are not attorneys and cannot provide legal advice, explain legal documents, or recommend which forms you should use. Myth: I can sign my documents before the appointment. Fact: Many documents must be signed in the presence of the notary. If you're unsure, wait until your appointment before signing. Myth: A notary verifies the truthfulness of a document. Fact: A notary verifies the identity of the signer and witnesses the signing. We do not verify whether the contents of a document are true or legally valid. Myth: Any form of identification is acceptable. Fact: Notaries are required to verify identity using valid, government-issued photo identification. Expired or unacceptable forms of ID may prevent notarization.
