Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our notary services and policies.

General Notary Questions

  • A valid, government-issued photo ID is required for all notarizations. The name on the ID must match the name on the document.

  • Please bring your unsigned document(s), valid identification, and any required witnesses (if applicable). Documents must be complete before notarization.

  • No. We are not attorneys and cannot provide legal advice, select documents, or explain legal content.

  • Yes. Documents from other states may be notarized as long as the notarization complies with Washington State law and the signer is physically located in Washington at the time of notarization (or properly verified through RON).

  • No. We are not attorneys and cannot provide legal advice, select documents, or explain legal content. You must know which document you need prior to your appointment. However, we may assist with basic formatting, grammar corrections, or typing information that you provide and approve.

  • Some documents require one or more witnesses in addition to notarization. It is the client’s responsibility to confirm whether witnesses are required and to provide them at the time of the appointment.

    Witnesses must be physically present, have valid identification, and meet any applicable legal requirements. We do not provide witnesses unless arranged in advance, and additional fees may apply.

  • In most cases, documents must be signed in the presence of the notary. Please do not sign your document in advance unless instructed to do so. If a document has already been signed, the notarization may not be valid and a new document may be required.
