Frequently Asked Questions
Below is information relating to some of the common ways in which a Notaries services are required. Click on one of the links below to jump to that section.
What is Notarization?
Notarization is the process whereby a Notary certifies a document. Usually, this is done by attaching a notarial certificate to the document. The notarial certificate contains statements of fact or law in relation to the document being certified. Our Notaries often issue certificates in the language of the country where the document being certified is to be used.
What is a signing agent?
A signing agent is a public notary who is expert in loan closing documents. A lender, title company, or escrow service may hire a signing agent to handle getting documents delivered, signed, or processed efficiently and on time.
Do I need an appointment?
Yes, it is preferable to book an appointment in advance in order to ensure a Notary will be available to see you. This also allows us to ensure we have all necessary documents in advance and that the appointment is as brief as possible for you.
Why do I need to bring proof of identity and proof of address?
One of the Notary’s fundamental duties is to properly identify his or her client. This requirement is laid down by our practice rules and legislation.
How much will it cost?
This will depend on the document being certified and exactly what the notary is required to do. Our notaries will be happy to discuss this with you prior to your appointment (please note it will often be necessary to see the document in advance in order to provide an accurate fee estimate).
Where do you provide your services?
We will come to you at a place that is convenient for you. This can be your home or office, a restaurant, or even a nursing home, hospital, or federal, state or county correctional facility. We specialize in providing prompt and convenient attention that lets you focus on your client.

Why Are Documents Notarized?
To put it simply a Notary Public’s main purpose is to deter fraud. As an impartial witness, the Notary ensures that the signers of documents are who they say they are and not impostors. The Notary also makes sure that signers have entered into agreements knowingly and willingly.
What Are Your Terms And Policies?
– At least 24 hours advanced notice required whenever possible.
– Advanced payment required for same-day appointments.
– No Cancellations/Refunds for same-day appointments.
– Errors & Omissions caused by our notaries will be corrected at free of charge.
– Cancellations should be made via email or phone no later than 5 hours prior to the scheduled appointment. There is a $50 fee for appointments cancelled within 5 hours of the appointment.
I do not speak English. Can I still sign?
The simple answer is no. I am required to make sure that you understand what you are signing. I do not provide translation services. If you do not speak English, you may either have a translator on location with you or they may join the online meeting. The translator’s identity will also have to be verified and they will also be required to swear and oath.
