Documents & Notarization

What documents can you notarize?
We can notarize most standard documents including powers of attorney, affidavits, deeds, trusts, medical directives, and more. If you are unsure whether your document requires notarization, contact us and we will help you figure it out.
Do I need to bring my own documents?
Yes. The notary does not provide or prepare legal documents. You should have your documents ready and unsigned before the appointment. Do not sign anything until the notary is present. If you need documents printed, we can print from a PDF for $0.25 per page.
Can a notary give me legal advice?
No. A notary public is not an attorney and cannot explain documents, recommend actions, or provide legal advice. If you need legal guidance, please consult with a licensed attorney before your notary appointment.

ID Requirements

What ID do I need to bring?
You will need a current, unexpired, government-issued photo ID such as a driver's license, passport, or state ID card. The name on your ID must match the name on the documents being notarized.
What if my name does not match my documents?
The name on your ID must match the name on the documents. If there is a discrepancy (e.g., maiden name vs. married name), contact us before your appointment so we can advise on next steps.

Cancellations & Policies

What is your cancellation policy?
Appointments may be cancelled at no charge with 12 or more hours' notice. Cancellations made less than 12 hours in advance, no-shows, or when the signer or ID is unavailable are subject to the full package fee.
What happens if the notary cannot complete the signing?
If a signing cannot be completed due to missing ID, unsigned documents, or signer unavailability, the full package fee may still apply. We do our best to confirm all requirements before the appointment to avoid issues.
