Before your appointment
Confirm the document, signing location, who needs to attend, and acceptable identification. Ask about travel charges and availability before booking.
At the signing
The notary performs the requested authorized notarial act, checks the required identification and signing circumstances, and completes the appropriate certificate and records. Requirements vary by state and act.
What a notary does not do
Notarization does not establish that a document’s contents are true or that it is appropriate for you. Direct Deeds cannot provide legal advice or tell you whether to sign. Bring those questions to a licensed attorney.
