What should I bring to the notary appointment?

What happens if I don’t understand the document I’m signing?

A notary can only verify that you’re signing the document willingly and under no duress. If you have questions about the document’s content, we recommend seeking legal advice before proceeding. The notary cannot provide legal counsel.

Can you notarize my documents if I’m outside of the United States?

Yes, through our Remote Online Notarization services, we can assist you no matter where you are located. For documents needing Apostille certification, we can help with that too, no matter where you are in the world.

What is an Apostille, and when do I need one?

An Apostille is an official certification that authenticates a document for international use. If you’re planning to use a notarized document in another country, you may need an Apostille to ensure it is recognized. We offer Apostille services for documents being used abroad.

What if I don’t have all the required witnesses?

Some documents require witnesses in addition to notarization. If you don’t have your own witnesses, we can assist in providing them for your appointment, depending on availability. Be sure to let us know when scheduling.

Can you notarize documents for minors or people with limited capacity?

Notarizing documents for minors or individuals with limited mental capacity can be more complicated. We recommend discussing your specific situation with us beforehand, as some documents may require additional steps or legal considerations.
