what you will need...

before you schedule a notarization appointment:

  • we suggest you do not sign or date your documents, as some documents must be signed and dated in the presence of a notary.

  • verify with your document issuer what exaclty is required to complete your documents correctly. ( i.e. an ADDITIONAL in-person witness, jurat, a certificate of identitiy, etc.)

  • make sure you have and bring all pages of the document/s needing notarization, not just the signature page/s.

  • ensure all document signers (including any witnesses) have valid identification.


Clients must provide a minimum of one OR more of the following UNEXPIRED forms of identification to achieve successful notarization:

1. A United States Passport

2. A United States Passport Card

3. A certificate of United States citizenship

4. A certificate of naturalization

5. A foreign passport

6. A United States green card with photograph

7. A state issued driver’s license

8. State-issued identification card

9. A United States military identification card

  • Generally speaking, Social Security cards, birth or marriage certificates, credit cards, school IDs, library cards and temporary driver's licenses are not acceptable forms of ID for notarization purposes.

  • You will need to confirm how many forms of identification your document will require to be completed from the document issuer.
