What are the general powers/functions of a Notary Public?
A Notary Public acts as an official witness appointed by the state government to witness the signing of important documents and to administer oaths. A Notary is authorized to witness or attest a signature, administer an oath or affirmation, certify an oath or affirmation, take acknowledgements, and certify or attest a copy (in limited cases). Every state has their own Notary guidelines and codes, administered, and maintained by each Secretary of State. As a public officer, the sovereign power of your state is vested in you; that is, your authority to act comes from the state.A notarial appointment is a privilege. A notary must be a person of proven integrity and character, and one who can be trusted to perform the duties of a state officer.

How much do you charge for your notarization services?
Fees for notarial services are mandated by each state. In addition to the fees for each notarization, travel fees will also apply for instances when a Notary travels to your location for a notarization. Loan documents signings require much more than the notarization involved and fees are on a case-by-case basis. Please call for more information about fees.

Are Social Security cards, Birth Certificates, or Marriage Licenses acceptable forms of ID?

What is an apostille and why might I need one?
An apostille is a form of authentication issued to documents for use in countries that participate in the Hague Convention of 1961. If you need to use your document abroad, youll likely need an apostille.
What is a Notary Loan Signing Agent?
A Notary Loan Signing Agent is a Notary with experience witnessing loan document signings. A Notary is hired as an independent contractor by either a real estate lender, a closing agent, title/escrow firm, signing service, or the borrower to deliver documents, present each page in the package, ensure that documents are initialed and signed as necessary, notarize where required, and return the signed loan documents for processing. Many borrowers do not realize that in many cases they may select their own Notary to perform this service, which is something they need to discuss with their escrow or title officer. I have often been requested by borrowers directly to be the Notary assigned to their loan closings.
Does notarization mean that a document is "true" or "legal"?
No. Notaries are not responsible for the accuracy or legality of a document they notarize. The signers are responsible for the content of the documents.
