Have Your ID:
Non-expired
Photo on the ID
Your Full Legal Name, if the documents that you're signing have your middle name then your ID must also have your middle name!
2nd Form: *It's always good to bring a second form of ID just in case, especially if your name has changed!
Common examples include; your Driver's License, Passport, or Visa. These IDs are good because they hit the 6 points needed for identification. If you are unsure, call us!
Writing Instrument:
It is up to you whether you want to use blue or black ink (unless the lender had a preference). We however don't suggest signing with anything that is easily erased such as a pencil. Most agencies also don't want you to sign with a marker.
We have a specific pen that we like to use because acid-free ink is fraud preventive. Read more here.
Complete Forms and Documents
Each document is different. Before the notarization, you should have all the forms completed. It can be time-consuming and a bit rushed during the appointment. (If the notary is bringing the documents with her, then you can complete the forms at the appointment.)
Often information that is requested on documents:
Tax ID Number ie Social Security Number or EIN Number
Forwarding Address
Bank information such as routing number and account number
* Trust Information if signing as a Trustee
*Original or a copy of the POA; if signing as Attorney -in -Fact or Power of Attorney; you may be asked to include the document with the notarization.
Have a Private Area to Sign
If signing at your location, you should make sure that you have a non-public area with a table and chairs available. Some information is private and your privacy is key! Also, at times there may be a significant amount of papers to sign so a table or clean space with keep things moving!
Block Your Calendar
The average notarization of one document will be 10-15 minutes, longer for a full closing. It depends on how many people are signing and the number of documents. Add an additional 10-15 minutes for each additional signer.
