1. What is a notary public and what do they do?

A notary public is a state-commissioned official who acts as an impartial witness in the signing of important documents. Notaries verify the identity of the signers, ensure they are signing willingly and under their own free will, and administer oaths or affirmations when required. Their role is to help deter fraud and ensure documents are executed properly.​​

​

2. What types of documents can you notarize?

We notarize a wide range of documents including affidavits, acknowledgments, jurats, power of attorney documents, real estate documents, loan documents, contracts, medical authorization forms, parental consent forms, and more. If you are unsure whether your document can be notarized, please contact us in advance.

​

3. What is an apostille and when do I need one?

An apostille is a certification issued by the Secretary of State that authenticates the signature and seal of a public official on a document so it can be recognized in another country. You typically need an apostille when submitting documents internationally for matters such as dual citizenship, marriage abroad, business transactions, adoption, or education.

​
