Every signer needs current, government-issued photo identification — a driver’s licence, state ID, passport or military ID. Not a photocopy, not expired, and the name has to match the document. A signer who can’t be identified can’t be notarized, and that isn’t a rule we can bend at the table.
Don’t sign it beforehand. Most notarial acts require the notary to witness the signature, so a document that arrives already signed usually has to be re-executed. If the document also needs witnesses beyond the notary, say so at intake so the appointment is set up for it.
Both of these get confirmed with you when the quote goes out, because a wasted appointment costs you a day and costs us a trip.
Every notarization is the same three questions — who is this, do they understand, are they signing willingly. What changes is the setting and the paperwork around it.
The finished, unsigned document, photo ID for every signer, and the location. Powers of attorney, travel consents, auto titles, affidavits — the common ones.
The completed notarial certificate for the act your document calls for, sealed, with the entry recorded in the notary’s journal.
The package and the lender or title company’s instructions. Tell us if we’re printing it — there’s a yes/no on the form — and how it comes back.
A signing agent who presents the package in order, completes the notarizations, and returns it the way your instructions say — not the way that’s convenient.
The facility, the room or unit, and any visiting restriction we’ll hit. Tell us if the signer’s condition may affect the appointment — it changes what we can do, not whether we come.
A notary who has done this before, works around staff and visiting hours, and knows that a signer must be aware and acting freely — and will say so plainly if they aren’t.
The forms and the employee’s appointment. For I-9 Section 2, confirm that you’re designating us as your authorised representative.
Documents examined in the employee’s physical presence and the section completed as your representative. I-9 completion is not a notarial act, and the certificate reflects that.
A yes or no on printing, and a return method — no mailing, first class, certified, priority or express. Certified and above are the ones that give you a track.
The package printed and brought to the appointment, and the wet-ink originals sent back by the method you picked, priced on the form so you see it before you order.
The signer’s state, the document, and who’s receiving it. All three matter — a state permitting RON doesn’t mean your county recorder or lender will take one.
A straight answer on whether RON works for your situation before you commit — and an in-person notary instead if it doesn’t.
Nothing. This is what happens when the law says the act can’t be completed.
A clear reason and no seal. ID that doesn’t satisfy the state, a signer who isn’t present, blanks left in the document, or a signer who seems confused or pressured — a notary who seals through any of those has made the document easier to attack, not harder.
Not sure which act your document needs? That one has to come from the document or your attorney — a notary choosing it for you is practising law. Send what you have and we’ll tell you what we can and can’t do with it. Full notary FAQ.
A notary public is an impartial witness appointed by the state. Knowing exactly where that stops is the difference between a document that holds and one that gets challenged.
Notarial authority is state law, and a commission does not cross state lines. The notary who attends is commissioned in the state where the act is performed, and follows that state’s rules on identification, journals, certificates and fees — not the rules of wherever the document ends up.

Send the location, the document and the number of signers. We'll confirm a notary, a realistic window and a written quote before anyone is dispatched.
This page is informational and is not legal advice. Served 123 LLC is not a law firm, and a notary public is not an attorney: our notaries cannot give legal advice, draft or complete documents, or advise which document or notarial act you need. Every signer must appear before the notary — in person, or by an approved remote session where state law permits — with current government-issued identification. Notarial acts, remote online notarization and copy certification are governed by the law of the state where the act is performed, and copy certification is available only where that state allows it. A notary commission does not extend beyond the commissioning state. Notarial fees are capped by statute in most states; travel, printing and return mail are quoted before your appointment.
