General guidance only. The office asking for your document may require more, so check with them. A notary can't give legal advice or tell you which document you need. No appointment time is guaranteed until you receive a confirmation email from us.

FAQ

## Before your appointment

**Do all signers need ID?**

Yes. Every person signing needs a current, government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license or passport. The name on the ID should match the name on the document.

**Should I sign the document ahead of time?**

No. Leave it unsigned. You sign in front of the notary, and the notary can't notarize a signature they didn't watch you make.

**What if the office asking for the document wants something else?**

Follow the receiving office. This list is general guidance. Offices can require a specific form, wording or number of copies, and we can't change that for you.
