Prior to our meeting please adhere to the following guidelines:
1. DO NOT SIGN document(s) until you are in my presence.
2. COMPLETELY FILL IN ALL BLANK SPACES IN DOCUMENT BEFORE NOTARY ARRIVES. BUT DO NOT SIGN! I will not notarize incomplete documents!
3. If you have questions about how to complete the document, contact the person who drafted or requested the document. A Notary Public is unable to provide legal advice or assistance in the drafting and/or completion of documents.
4. Every signer must physically appear, be coherent and present acceptable ID at the time of notarization. (See a list of acceptable ID's below)
5. Original documents must be presented for all Copy Certification.
6. Vital records (birth, death and marriage) cannot be notarized.
7. Know which Notary Certificate you need. I cannot give advice on which form you should use.
All identification cards must be ORIGINAL, current or issued within the last 5 years, contain a photo, physical description, signature, and serial number.
If you do not have an acceptable form of identification you may be able to use two credible witnesses whose identities are proven to the notary public.
Contact us to discuss if this is an option that is available to you.
