A notary stamp may be the most visible part of a notarization, but it is only one part of the appointment. Professional notary service begins with understanding what the signer needs and completing the requested notarial act carefully.
That process includes confirming the signer’s identity, making sure the signer appears before the notary, and completing the notarial certificate and record as required for the act. Clear communication helps everyone understand the steps of the appointment. Careful attention to names, dates, signatures, and certificate details helps avoid preventable errors.
A notary also has an important boundary: notarization is not legal advice. A notary does not choose a document for you, explain what legal rights it creates, or decide which notarial certificate belongs on a document. If you have questions about the document’s meaning or the certificate it requires, contact the person or organization that prepared it, such as your attorney, lender, title company, or receiving agency.
