Before your appointment
What you'll need
to be notary-ready.
A quick checklist so your signing goes smoothly. Have a question about your specific document? Just call or text — we're happy to help you prepare.
No valid ID? Bring a credible witness
- Your witness must personally know you.
- They must present their own valid government-issued photo ID.
- They must appear in person — no calling or video in.
Documents: filled out, not signed
- You must appear in person — no exceptions.
- All blanks should be completed, but do not sign or date yet.
- We cannot give legal advice or help you fill out forms.
If your document needs witnesses
Some documents require witnesses other than the notary. We do not provide witnesses as a service — please arrange your own. Check with your lender, attorney, or the document instructions if you're unsure.
Need an interpreter?
You may use an interpreter, with a few rules: they cannot be named in the document, they cannot benefit from the notarization, and friends or family are fine.
For deaf or hard-of-hearing clients, please arrange for a certified interpreter.
Quick summary
Bring your valid ID, your completed but unsigned documents, and any required witnesses or interpreter. Show up in person — we'll handle the rest.
