Notary Services

A Notary Public is an official officer of integrity appointed by state government typically by the secretary of state, to serve the public as an impartial witness in performing a variety of fraud-deterrent acts related to the signing of important documents. These official acts are called notarizations, or notarial acts. 

Almost every industry and or the public, will at some time or another need the services of a notary public. Important documents may include; vehicle titles, real estate documents, adoption forms, etc. Any document that may require a notary to act as an impartial witness, administer an oath and/or witness a signature, etc.

The following items and steps are required from the customer, to conduct a smooth and efficient notarization;

1. The customer, as well as all of the signers involved in the documentation, MUST be physically present before me the notary, with an acceptable form of identification. 
2. Bring acceptable identification! It is imperative to have proper I.D. so the notary public is able to verify your identity as the signer of the document. Acceptable forms of identification must contain these four elements;
   
   •   Photograph of the signer
   •   Signature of the signer
   •   The issuing authority or state that the signer resides in
   •   A physical description of the signer
