Frequently Asked Questions

A notary public is a state-appointed official who serves as an impartial witness to the signing of important documents. The notary's primary role is to verify the identity of signers, ensure they are signing voluntarily, and witness the signing of documents to help prevent fraud.

You'll need to bring:

• A valid, government-issued photo ID (driver's license, passport, state ID card)
• The document(s) to be notarized (unsigned - you'll sign in my presence)
• Any additional copies if multiple notarizations are needed

Note: Do not sign the document before the appointment. You must sign in front of the notary.

No. Notaries cannot notarize documents for immediate family members, including spouses, parents, siblings, children, or in-laws. This restriction ensures impartiality and prevents conflicts of interest. However, I'm happy to recommend another qualified notary if needed.

A notary public is authorized to witness signatures and administer oaths on various documents. A signing agent is a notary public with specialized training in handling loan documents for real estate transactions. As both a notary public and certified signing agent, I can handle all types of notarizations including complex real estate closings.

Most standard notarizations take 10-15 minutes. More complex documents or multiple signers may require additional time. Real estate closings typically take 30-60 minutes depending on the number of documents. I allocate sufficient time to ensure accuracy and answer any questions you may have.

No. I am not an attorney and cannot provide legal advice. My role as a notary is limited to verifying identities, witnessing signatures, and administering oaths. If you need legal advice about your documents or have questions about their content, please consult with a qualified attorney.
