Things to consider before you call

ByEditor

Please do not call for an appointment if:

a. the person requiring notarization does not have proper and valid ID and cannot provide witnesses with proper and valid ID to confirm the signer’s identity.

b. the person requiring notarization is not present to sign.

c. the person is not mentally competent to sign.

If you call a notary to a location and the signer is unable to sign, the document is not complete, or other questionable circumstances prevail, you will still be liable for the travel/time fee as agreed when booking the appointment.
