You must have a valid State-issued photo ID, such as a Driver License or Passport, if you are unsure about ID requirements please call.
Documents to be notarized must be in your possession. If you need us to print documents for you please email the documents to us prior to the notaries arrival.
Some documents require the signature of witnesses; look at your documents, check whether or not the signature of a witnesses is required? If it is, witnesses must be present at the time of the appointment, we can provide a witness if required.
Wait until the Notary arrives to sign the documents! Remember the whole purpose of the Notary is to validate through proper identification, that the person signing the document "is in fact" the person in front of the Notary.
