FAQs
A notary public is a state-appointed official who serves as an impartial witness for various legal functions, such as signing documents, administering oaths, and preventing fraud. Notaries follow strict state guidelines, ensuring that your documents are executed properly for legal and official purposes.
Common documents include legal agreements like contracts and wills, real estate documents like deeds and mortgages, and court documents like affidavits and depositions.
Most states require a valid, government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, state ID card, or passport.
Yes, I can serve as a witness if needed for your notarization But I may not serve as both a witness and the notary for the same document.
I highly encourage my customers to reach out to friends or neighbors for witnessing documents but I understand not everyone can accommodate. Please inform me in advance if you require witness services, so I can reach out to my network of friends and colleagues to check availability.
- Notary fees are typically set by state law and range from $2-$15 per act. Additional fees may apply for mobile travel or specialized services.
No, in most states, notaries are prohibited from notarizing documents for close family members like parents, children, siblings, or spouses to avoid potential conflicts of interest.
Notaries do not need to read or understand the content of the documents they notarize. My role is to verify your identity and willingness to sign, not to interpret the document’s contents.
No, the signer must be physically present for the notarization. Some states offer remote online notarization as an exception, but in-person presence is required in most cases.
Unlike notaries at banks who may perform notarial acts infrequently, I specialize in providing notary services full-time, which means I’m experienced in a wide range of documents. This experience reduces the risk of errors that could otherwise invalidate your document.
Notaries take all kinds of payment. I prefer Cash or Check but I also take credit cards via SquareUp or Venmo. Payments via Zelle coming soon.
