⚖️ NOTARY MYTH vs FACT

❌ MYTH: A notary is the only person needed for every notarization.

✅ FACT: Some documents require witnesses in addition to the notary.

Depending on the document and your state's laws, certain documents—such as wills and some legal declarations—may require one or more witnesses to be present.

✔️ Requirements vary by state and document type
✔️ Witnesses are separate from the notary's role
✔️ Confirm witness requirements before your appointment

💡 Pro Tip: Ask in advance whether you need to bring witnesses or if they can be provided to help avoid delays or rescheduling.

❓ NOTARY Q&A

How long does notarization take?

⏱️ Typically, only a few minutes—provided all requirements have been met.

To help ensure a quick and smooth appointment, make sure you have:

✔️ A completed document (unless instructed to sign in front of the notary)
✔️ A valid, government-issued photo ID
✔️ All required signers present
✔️ Any required witnesses (if applicable)

💡 More complex signings—such as loan packages or documents requiring multiple notarizations—may take additional time.

📄 Being prepared helps make your notarization fast, accurate, and stress-free.

📚 WORD OF THE WEEK: Travel Fee

A Travel Fee is an additional fee that a mobile notary may charge for traveling to a client's location to perform a notarization.

✔️ Covers the time and travel required to reach the client
✔️ May vary based on distance, travel time, or location
✔️ Is separate from the notarization fee (where permitted by law)
✔️ Should be clearly disclosed and agreed upon in advance

💡 Simple: A travel fee compensates a mobile notary for the convenience of coming to you.

⚠️ Note: Travel fee rules vary by state. Some states regulate or limit what mobile notaries may charge, so it's always a good idea to ask about fees before scheduling an appointment.

⚖️ NOTARY MYTH vs FACT

❌ MYTH: Notaries don't need to keep records of their notarizations.

✅ FACT: In many states, notaries are required or strongly encouraged to maintain a notary journal that records details of each notarial act.

A notary journal may include:

📅 Date and time of the notarization
📄 Type of notarial act or document
🆔 Signer's name and identification information
✍️ Signer's signature (where required by law)

💡 Simple: A notary journal creates an official record of notarizations, helping promote accountability, deter fraud, and protect both the notary and the public.

⚠️ Note: Journal requirements vary by state, so not all jurisdictions require notaries to maintain one.

✔️ Avoid post-dated or incorrectly dated documents
✔️ Review every page for consistency before signing

⚠️ Incorrect or post-dated documents may be rejected by the receiving agency or require corrections before they can be accepted.

💡 A quick date check today can help prevent delays and ensure a smooth notarization process.

📄 Be prepared. Be accurate. Sign with confidence.

✍️ NOTARY TIP
Ensure the Document Is Complete Before Notarization
Taking a few minutes to review your documents before your appointment can help prevent delays and ensure a smooth notarization process.
Before notarization:
✔️ Fill in all required fields
✔️ Avoid blank spaces or missing pages
✔️ Double-check names, dates, and important details
✔️ Make sure all information is accurate and complete
⚠️ In many cases, a notary cannot notarize incomplete documents with blank sections that could later be altered.
💡 A complete document helps protect everyone involved and ensures a faster, more efficient signing experience.
📄 Be prepared. Stay accurate. Sign with confidence.
