Notarization of Documents

Notarization is a crucial legal process that ensures the authenticity, integrity, and legality of important documents. A notary public acts as an impartial witness to verify identities, confirm the willingness of signers, and prevent fraud. Many legal, financial, real estate, and immigration documents require notarization for official use.

What Types of Documents Require Notarization?

Notary services are commonly needed for:

• Affidavits – Sworn statements used in legal or immigration cases.
• Power of Attorney (POA) – Authorizing someone to act on your behalf in legal or financial matters.
• Real Estate Documents – Property deeds, mortgage agreements, and lease contracts.
• Business Contracts – Agreements between companies or individuals requiring legal validation.
• Wills and Testaments – Ensuring your last wishes are legally binding.
• Immigration Documents – Sponsorship letters, affidavits of support, and declarations.
• School or Employment Documents – Diplomas, transcripts, and employment verification letters.

Notarization Process

1. Verification of Identity
   • The notary public checks a valid government-issued ID (passport, driver’s license, or state ID).
   • Ensures the signer is mentally competent and signing voluntarily.
2. Document Review
   • The document is checked for completeness before being notarized.
   • The notary does not provide legal advice but ensures all necessary information is present.
3. Witnessing the Signature
   • The signer must sign in the presence of the notary.
   • For some documents, oaths or affirmations may be required.
4. Notary Seal & Certification
   • The notary applies an official seal and signature, certifying that the document was signed correctly and legally.
   • The notarized document is now legally recognized for use in courts, banks, government agencies, and other institutions.

Why Is Notarization Important?

• Prevents Fraud – Ensures that documents are authentic and legally binding.
• Legal Compliance – Many institutions require notarized documents for official transactions.
• Protects Against Disputes – A notarized document serves as strong evidence in legal matters.
