Frequently Asked Questions
Can You Provide Documents for signings?
The short answer? No. Notaries are not legally allowed to create or provide documents for signing—no letters, power of attorney, title transfer—nothing. Our sole role is to confirm the identity of the signer(s).
Can I use a picture of my ID?
Unfortunately, in the state of California, a photo of your ID will not suffice as an adequate and or acceptable form of ID.
Do I have to be present to have my document notarized?
Not necessarily. This is a notarization process called California Proof of Execution By Subscribing Witness. This requires the principal signer to direct the subscribing witness to witness the principal signer signing the document. The subscribing witness then brings the document to the notary to be notarized. Please call if this is the case for your notary appointment. 559-212-4706
My document requires witnesses. Do you provide witnesses’?
Yes, I can provide witnesses, depending on the document. If the document requires the witnesses to know the signer, then providing witnesses will be the signer’s responsibility.
Do you provide Notary Presentment Services?
In California, only notaries employed by financial institutions can perform a notary presentation. Outside of the financial institution, Notary Presentment is prohibited for California Notaries.
