What are the steps to get a document notarized?
The steps to get a document notarized are:
1. Prepare the document: Gather the document that needs notarization, but do not sign it yet.
2. Find a notary public: Locate a certified notary at places like banks, libraries, UPS stores, or government offices.
3. Bring valid identification: Prepare a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, state ID, passport, or military ID.
4. Meet with the notary: Schedule an appointment or visit a location offering notary services.
5. Verify your identity: Present your ID to the notary for verification.
6. Sign the document: In the presence of the notary, sign the document when instructed.
7. Witness the notarization: The notary will complete the process by:
• Applying their official seal or stamp
• Signing and dating the document
• Recording the notarial act in their journal
8. Pay any required fees: Some notaries may charge for their services, though some institutions offer free notarization.
