Our Notarization Process

Scheduling:



Pick a time for your notarization appointment.


To set up a notarization appointment for your loan documents, call us or visit our website. We offer flexible times, so you can choose what works best for you. If you're in a rush or have specific requirements, let us know, and we'll do our best to accommodate you. Whether you prefer in-person notarization or need our mobile or online services, we can arrange an option that suits your needs.

 Document Review: 

 


 Bring your loan documents and a valid photo ID.

On the day of your appointment, make sure you have your loan documents ready for notarization. This can include mortgage papers, promissory notes, or other loan-related documents. Don't forget to bring a government-issued photo ID, like a driver's license or passport. If there are additional documents referenced in your loan paperwork, have those on hand as well. Review your loan documents to ensure they're complete and accurate before the appointment.

Identity Verification:


We check IDs to confirm everyone is who they say they are.

When you arrive, the notary will check your ID to verify that it's valid and matches the names on the loan documents. This step is critical to prevent fraud and ensure that the notarization process is legitimate. If someone else is signing on behalf of another person, make sure you have the appropriate authorization, such as a power of attorney. Proper identity verification ensures that the notarization is valid.

Official Notarization:


We watch you sign the documents and then apply our seal to make it official.

After identity verification, the notary will witness you signing the loan documents to confirm that you are doing so willingly. The notary will then apply the official seal, indicating that the documents have been notarized according to legal requirements. This seal adds an extra layer of security and legitimacy to the loan documents, confirming they are ready for use in legal or financial contexts.

Tips For Preparing for a Loan Document Notarization:

Review the Documents:

Make sure all the details in your loan documents are correct.

Before your notarization appointment, carefully review all your loan documents. Check that each page is complete, all information is accurate, and there are no missing sections. Make sure names, dates, and terms are correct. If there are errors or unclear information, contact the loan officer or relevant party to get them resolved before the appointment. This will help avoid delays and ensure a smooth notarization process.

All Signatories Present:

Anyone who needs to sign the documents should be there.

For notarization, everyone who needs to sign the loan documents must be present. If you're using mobile or online notarization, ensure that everyone involved knows the time and place of the meeting. If someone can't be there in person, contact the notary in advance to discuss possible alternatives. Having all signatories present helps confirm that the notarization is legitimate and that everyone agrees to the terms.

Bring Necessary Identification:

Everyone signing needs to bring a valid ID.

Each person signing the loan documents must bring a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license or passport. Make sure the ID isn't expired and that the name on it matches the name on the loan documents. If there are discrepancies due to name changes or other reasons, bring supporting documents, like a marriage certificate or legal name change record. Proper identification is key for identity verification and ensures the notarization is valid.
