Our Notarization Process
Scheduling:
Pick a time that works for you to come by.
To schedule a notarization appointment for your commercial lease, call us or visit our website. We offer flexible scheduling, so you can choose a time that fits your availability. If you prefer, we can meet you at a location of your choice through our mobile service, or set up a virtual appointment if online notarization is allowed in your state. Let us know if you have specific requirements, such as additional signatories or special timing needs.
Document Preparation:
Bring your commercial lease and a valid ID for everyone signing.
On the day of your appointment, bring the commercial lease and a valid government-issued photo ID, like a driver's license or passport. Ensure the lease is complete and accurately filled out, with no missing sections. If other documents are referenced in the lease, such as property deeds or insurance papers, bring those along. Reviewing the lease beforehand helps avoid delays during the notarization process.
Verification:
We check IDs to confirm that everyone is who they say they are.
When you arrive for the appointment (or connect online), the notary will check your photo ID to confirm it's valid and matches the name on the lease. This identity verification step is crucial to ensure the notarization is legitimate. If someone else is signing on behalf of another person, ensure they have the proper authorization, like a power of attorney. Proper verification maintains the integrity of the notarization process.
Notarization:
We watch as you sign the lease and then stamp it to make it official.
Once identities are verified, the notary will watch as you sign the commercial lease. This step confirms that the signing is done properly and with the notary's oversight. After the signatures are in place, the notary will apply the official seal, indicating that the lease has been properly notarized. This seal makes the lease legally valid, confirming that it's ready for use in business transactions or other legal matters.

Preparing for Your Commercial Lease Notarization
Review the Lease:
Make sure all lease details are correct and agreed upon.
Before your notarization appointment, read through your commercial lease to ensure it's accurate and complete. Check that all names, dates, and terms are correct and that they reflect the agreement between you and the other party. Confirm that all critical sections are filled in and that there are no blank or ambiguous parts. If the lease contains legal jargon you don't understand, consider consulting with a legal expert to clarify any issues. This review is crucial to ensure a smooth notarization process without unexpected delays.
All Parties Present:
Make sure everyone who needs to sign the lease is at the appointment.
For the notarization to be valid, all signatories must be present. If you're using mobile notarization, inform everyone of the time and location. If you're doing online notarization, ensure everyone has the technology to join the virtual meeting, such as a stable internet connection and a webcam. If a signatory can't attend, check with the notary to discuss possible alternatives. Having all parties present ensures the notarization is legally valid.
Bring Necessary Identification:
Each person signing must bring a valid photo ID.
Everyone who needs to sign the commercial lease must bring a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license or passport. Make sure the ID isn't expired and that the name matches the one on the lease. If there's a discrepancy due to name changes or other reasons, bring supporting documents, like a marriage certificate or legal name change record. Proper identification is essential for the notary to confirm each signatory's identity before the notarization process.
