Notaries may decline to notarize a document if it is prepared in a format unfamiliar to the notary, or they cannot be certain of the identity or mental capacity of the signer.
Notarization of wills, deeds, and power of attorney documents will be done solely at the discretion of the notary.
Notaries will not notarize documents requiring verification of facts.
Our notaries do not act as authorized representatives for employers to verify the employment eligibility of employees, including the I-9.
Photo identification should be provided by all signers, even if the signer is “known.” Acceptable forms of ID are: 1) a United States passport, 2) a United States passport card, 3) a certificate of United States citizenship, 4) a certificate of naturalization, 5) a foreign passport, 6) an alien registration card with photograph, 7) a state-issued driver’s license, 8) a state-issued identification card, or 9) a United States military identification card. Photo IDs must be current and written in a language the notary understands. If an ID is not familiar to the notary, the notary has the option to refuse acceptance.
Notaries may not administer an oath to a non-English speaker.
