FAQ
Common questions, clear answers
What identification should I bring?
Bring a current government-issued photo ID and any additional identification specifically required by the receiving agency. Contact us before the appointment if the name on your ID does not reasonably match the document.
Should I sign my document in advance?
Wait when the document requires an oath, affirmation, or signature to be witnessed. An acknowledgment may involve a signature made earlier, but you must personally acknowledge it.
Can a notary choose the certificate or tell me what document I need?
No. A non-attorney notary cannot choose a notarial act, draft legal documents, or provide legal advice.
Are travel fees separate from notary fees?
Yes. Mobile, after-hours, waiting, printing, or convenience charges are separate and are disclosed before the appointment.
Do you provide witnesses?
Witnesses may sometimes be arranged in advance for an additional fee. The client is responsible for confirming the document's witness qualifications.
Do you offer same-day appointments?
Same-day availability depends on location, service type, and the existing schedule. Contact us for current availability.
Can you guarantee fingerprint or passport-photo acceptance?
No. We apply quality-control procedures, but the receiving agency makes the final acceptance decision.
Can I upload confidential documents through this site?
The public contact form should not be used for Social Security numbers, financial account information, full identification images, or sensitive legal documents. Secure upload will be added in a future client-portal phase.
