How To Prepare

Here are some things you can do to prepare for our appointment.

To make your document signing process fast and efficient, please read the following guidelines:

 

  • DO NOT sign the document or documents ahead of time. The documents must be signed in the presence of the Notary. If the documents to be signed are part of a loan package, it is best not to open them until the Notary arrives!
  • All signers must have proper unexpired government-issued, current, or issued within the last five years and bearing a serial or identifying number as well as a physical description including height, weight, eye and hair color, signature, and photo identification to present to the Notary.
  • Notaries are not lawyers. The Notary is strictly forbidden by law to give any advice regarding your documents. Please ask your attorney any legal questions before our arrival.
