Notary Services FAQs

What notary services do you provide?

Remote Online Notarization and Mobile In-Person Notarization are available for eligible documents and qualifying appointments.

What should I have ready for my appointment?

Have your complete document, valid identification, all required signers, and any required witnesses ready before the appointment begins.

What identification is required?

Each signer must present valid, unexpired government-issued photo identification bearing a signature, such as a driver’s license, state ID, passport, or military ID.

Should I sign my document before the appointment?

Please do not sign beforehand unless instructed by the document issuer or the notary. Some notarial acts require the signing to occur in the notary’s presence.

Can an incomplete document be notarized?

No. Virginia notaries may not notarize documents that are incomplete or clearly contain unfilled required information.

What is required for a mobile appointment location?

The location must be safe, sanitary, reasonably quiet, accessible, and have an appropriate surface for signing. Pets must be secured, and required facility access must be arranged in advance.

What if the location is unsafe or unsuitable?

The appointment may be stopped or declined if the environment is unsafe, unsanitary, disruptive, or does not allow the notarization to be completed properly.

Is the address on the Contact page a notary office?

No. It is a mailing address only, not a storefront or walk-in location. All mobile and remote appointments must be scheduled in advance.

Do you provide document witnesses?

Clients are responsible for providing qualified witnesses unless witness availability is confirmed in writing beforehand. The notary does not determine whether your document requires witnesses.
