Wisdom Wednesday | ReignHer Notary & Ceremonies™
Today’s Wisdom: The signature is the final step, not the first.
One of the most important things to remember when preparing for a notarization is this:
Do not sign the document beforehand unless you have confirmed that the notarization does not require the signature to be made in the Notary’s presence.
Different notarial acts have different requirements. Your Notary must identify the appropriate notarial act based on the certificate provided or the signer’s lawful selection—not choose it for you.
A little preparation can help prevent delays, incomplete notarizations, and an unnecessary second appointment.
Before your appointment:
* Bring a current, acceptable form of identification.
* Review your document for completeness.
* Do not leave required information blank.
* Know which documents need notarization.
* When in doubt about signing beforehand, wait until your appointment.
Professional service starts with an informed client.
