Notary Service

You can contact us to handle all of your Notary needs.

Here are the most common types of notary service:

Acknowledgments

The purpose of an acknowledgment is to ensure that the signer of a document is who they claim to be and has voluntarily signed the document. Consequently, acknowledgments are needed for documents concerning valuable assets, most of all deeds, mortgages and deeds of trust.

First of all, to perform an acknowledgment, the signer must personally appear before you at the time of notarization. The reason is to be positively identified and to declare or “acknowledge” that the signature on the document is their own and that they signed willingly.

Jurats

The purpose of a jurat is for a signer to swear or affirm that the contents of a document are true.Depending on the jurisdiction, it also can be known as an affidavit or a verification on oath or affirmation.

First of all for a jurat the signer must personally appear before you and sign the document in your presence. You must then administer an oath or affirmation and have the signer speak aloud his or her promise that the statements in the document are true. The choice between an oath or affirmation should be made by the signer.

Administering the oath or affirmation by our notary service is a vital part of performing a jurat or verification. The signer is affirming that the contents of the document are true.

Oaths/Affirmations

In some cases, a client may simply need you to administer an oath or affirmation orally, rather than as part of a jurat, affidavit or other written document. The purpose of administering a verbal oath or affirmation is, again, to compel a client to truthfulness.

An oath is a solemn pledge to a supreme being. An affirmation is a solemn pledge on the individual’s personal honor.

Copy Certification

A copy certification confirms that a reproduction of an original document is a “full, true, and accurate transcription or reproduction” of the original.

Documents requiring copy certification may include: diplomas, driver’s licenses, leases, contracts, vehicle titles, Social Security cards, medical records and bills of sale.

To perform a copy certification, the person in possession of an original document takes the original document to a Notary. The Notary typically will make a photocopy of the document.

Of the states that do authorize this act, some stipulate that you may only certify copies of documents. Not including images, or other items.

Most of all, birth and death certificates, marriage licenses and deeds. And as a general practice, the Model Notary Act (section 2-4) recommends against certifying copies of these types of documents.
