Important Requirements Before Your Appointment

Business and corporate documents can vary depending on the company type, the agency receiving the document, and who has authority to sign. Please review the document before your appointment so we can confirm who should appear, what identification is needed, and whether witnesses or supporting paperwork may be required.

  • WAIT to sign in front of the notary when possible. If your document has already been signed, contact us before assuming it cannot be used. Some documents may still have options depending on the situation.
  • SIGNERS & ID: The signer should have government-issued picture ID and authority to sign for the business or entity.
  • Documents: If your document was prepared by an attorney, accountant, lender, licensing board, or agency, have it completed and ready for signatures and notarization. You must have the complete document printed.
  • Tip: Some filings, permits, and lender forms have their own rules and supporting-document requirements, please review all of your instructions prior to your appointment.

If you already have the document, send a photo or short description before the appointment so we can help you prepare for what to have ready.
