Before the appointment

What to bring
to a signing.

  1. 01

    Valid photo ID

    Unexpired government-issued identification for every signer.

  2. 02

    The full document

    All pages, unsigned. We cannot notarize a signature made before we arrive.

  3. 03

    Every signer

    Each person named must appear in person, or join by approved remote session.

  4. 04

    Witnesses, if required

    Some documents need them; we can tell you in advance, and help arrange them.

Every signature witnessed

A steady hand,
a careful eye.

Notarization is small work with large consequences. We treat each certificate, date and seal as if the whole document depends on it, because it does.

How a signing works

Unhurried, start
to seal.

Whether at our desk, your kitchen table or a hospital room, every appointment follows the same careful order.

01

Confirm the details

We ask what the document is, how many signers there are and whether witnesses are needed, so nothing surprises anyone on the day.

02

Verify identity

Each signer presents identification and we record the details in our journal, as the law requires.

03

Review and sign

We check names, dates and blank spaces, then watch each signature being made.

04

Certificate and seal

We complete the notarial certificate, apply the seal and hand back documents that will not bounce.

Appointments we often take

Where we
meet people.

Illustrative situations. Each one starts with a short message about the document and the place.

Mobile

A signing at a care facility.

A parent needs to sign a power of attorney but cannot travel.

We come to the room, confirm awareness and identity gently, and take whatever time it needs.

Real estate

A loan package on a tight deadline.

The closing is tomorrow and the documents just arrived by courier.

We schedule a careful evening signing and return the package the same day.

International

Paperwork headed overseas.

A document must be recognised in another country and nobody is sure what that requires.

We notarize it and explain the apostille or authentication step that follows.

Small guides

Good to know.

Guide

Notary, witness, apostille: three words, three different jobs

Questions

Asked at
the table.

Clear answers before you book.

Can you come to us?

Yes. Mobile appointments at homes, offices, hospitals and care facilities are a large part of our work.

Can you tell me what to sign?

We cannot give legal advice or explain a document’s legal effect. We can tell you which pages need signatures and witnesses.

Do you handle loan signings?

Yes. We are experienced with full loan packages and return them promptly to the title or escrow company.

What if my ID is expired?

Most states require current identification. Message us first and we will tell you what alternatives may be accepted.

Set it
with care.

Tell us the document and where you would like to meet.
