For documents that need witnesses, we recommend you to make sure all of them bring photo identification and read carefully any special requirements about it. As notaries, we can be witnesses to certain documents.
Notarization is a form of legal authentication for signed (or sometimes, copied) documents. It confirms document’s authenticity and ensures compliance of such signed documents with the requirements of the relevant jurisdictions. Copied documents include utility bills, passports.
The Notary public verifies identity of the signee and ensures that such person fully understands, confirms (and willingly accepts) the information contained within such document.The certification by a notary can also be needed to confirm the authenticity of copied documents, such as passports or utility bills.
A Notary Public can only confirm and notarize signatures that are physically signed before the Notary. All documents have to undergo vetting and document notarization process must be followed before signing. You can consult with us to know the appropriate steps to take. Contact your counsel, or the organization that you are sending the document to, and bring a spare copy in case.
