FAQs about Notaries in your area
- Can I get a document notarized online?
In many states, yes. Online notarization is legal in most U.S. states and provides a fast, secure way to notarize from home. Check 'How to Get a Document Notarized' above for specific info.
- What types of documents can be notarized?
Common documents include affidavits, powers of attorney, wills, deeds, car title transfers, and business agreements.
- Can a notary refuse to notarize a document?
Yes. A notary can refuse service if the signer lacks valid ID, appears coerced, or the document is incomplete or suspicious.
- Do I need an appointment to see a notary?
It depends. Some locations like banks or shipping stores accept walk-ins, while others may require an appointment. Mobile and online notaries usually schedule ahead.
- Is notarization the same as legalizing a document?
Not exactly. Notarization confirms your identity and intent, but legalization or apostille is a separate process often required for international documents.
