Notary Services for Business

Business Agreements

When a business agreement calls for notarization, bring the complete document and valid identification for each signer. The notary checks identity, confirms the signer appears willing and aware, and completes the applicable notarial certificate. Requirements depend on the document, so check with the receiving business or agency before your appointment.

Corporate Documents

Company paperwork can involve multiple signers and specific signature instructions. Share the document requirements before the appointment, and make sure every signer has current identification and understands what they are signing. A notary verifies identity and completes the required notarial act, but does not review documents for legal accuracy or advise on their terms.

Affidavits and Oaths

Some business matters require a person to swear or affirm that statements in a document are true. Bring the unsigned affidavit and valid identification, and wait to sign until instructed. The notary administers the oath or affirmation and completes the certificate. Confirm in advance that the document has the correct wording and meets the recipient's requirements.

Acknowledgments

An acknowledgment confirms that a signer personally appeared, proved their identity, and acknowledged signing a document voluntarily. The signer may have signed beforehand if the document's instructions allow it. Bring the full document and valid identification, and check that the certificate matches the receiving party's requirements. The notary cannot choose or change certificate wording for you.
