Before you meet with a notary, make sure you’re prepared! Bringing the right documents and information can save time and ensure your appointment goes smoothly. Here’s what you need:
✅ A Valid Photo ID
State-issued driver’s license, passport, or other government-issued ID. It must be current and include a photo and signature.
✅ Unsigned Documents
Do not sign your documents ahead of time! The notary must witness your signature during the appointment.
✅ All Signers Present
Anyone required to sign must be there in person with proper identification.
✅ Correct Documents
Double-check that you’ve brought the correct forms, and ensure there are no blank spaces.
✅ Payment
Be ready to pay the notary fee. Some notaries accept cash, card, or mobile payments—confirm in advance.
✅ Witnesses (if needed)
Some documents require additional witnesses. Ask ahead of time if your notary can provide them, or if you need to bring your own.
Being prepared helps your notary session go quickly and efficiently. Have questions? Reach out anytime!
