MOBILE NOTARY

Everyone has a need for Notarial Services, at some time or another. 

But what does a Notary Public actually do?

Well its very simple, A Notary Public is person who has been appointed by the state to act as an impartial witness to prevent fraud during the signing of a document.

A notary will verify that you are who you say you are.  So you will need a valid photo ID.  This needs to be one issued by your state of residency, the most common ID's used are:

• State-issued driver's license.
• State-issued identification card.
• U.S. military identification card.
• Resident alien identification card (green card)
• U.S. passport.

What documents need to be notarized?

The range of documents requiring notarization varies from state to state, but generally speaking the common ones are:

• Powers of attorney
• Conveyancing documents in land and property transactions
• Probate, wills and similar documents relating to the administration of estates of people
• Personal documents and information for immigration control
• Personal documents and information for overseas marriage
• Authenticating company and business documents and transaction (e.g. shipping documents)

In general, any document that requires a secure record will require notarization.

Typically there are three broad categories of things a notary is used for:

• Acknowledgments: You will likely need a notary to acknowledge a document at some point. Transferring ownership of real estate usually requires a notary, as does granting power of attorney or shifting control of a trust.
• Jurats: A jurat is an oath in which you certify that the contents of a certain document are true. The oath is administered by a notary public and is often related to evidence presented in court.
• Certifications of Copies (not all states): In some states, a notary has the ability to represent that a copy of a document is in fact an exact copy.

A Notary Public's background has been thoroughly checked, and they hold an office through the Secretary of State for the state their commissioned through.

Some Notary's have an office, others like myself are mobile.  Which means I travel to you, be it your office, home, neutral location, hospital, even jails.
