5 Things to Know Before Your Notary Appointment

Getting your important documents notarized shouldn’t be stressful or confusing! At LRT Notary Services, we want to make sure you have a smooth and easy experience every time you work with us. Whether you’re signing real estate papers, a power of attorney, or general documents, here are five essential things to know before your notary appointment.

1. Bring a Valid Photo ID

Your notary is required by law to verify your identity. Make sure you bring a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, state ID, or passport. The ID should be current and not expired.

2. Do Not Sign Documents in Advance

It’s important that all signatures are witnessed by your notary. Please wait until your appointment to sign your documents. This helps ensure everything is legal and compliant.

3. Review Your Documents for Completeness

Double-check your documents to ensure all required fields are filled out, except for the sections that require notarization. Documents with missing information can delay your appointment.

4. Know If Witnesses Are Needed

Some documents require additional witnesses besides the notary. Ask ahead of time if you’ll need to bring a witness or if one can be provided for you. This can help avoid last-minute surprises.

5. Ask Questions!

Your notary is here to help. Don’t hesitate to ask about the process, fees, or any concerns you have. At LRT Notary Services, we pride ourselves on being accessible and providing friendly, professional support.
