What kind of ID do I need for notarization?

You must present a valid, government-issued photo ID. Acceptable forms typically include a driver’s license, state ID, or passport. The ID must be current (not expired) and match the name on the document.

Can I use an expired ID?

No. In most cases, expired IDs are not accepted. Your identification must be current and valid at the time of the appointment.

Do all signers need to be present?

Yes. Every person whose signature is being notarized must appear in person before the notary at the time of signing.

Do I sign before or in front of the notary?

You should wait to sign until you are in front of the notary. The notary must witness your signature for the notarization to be valid.

How long does a notary appointment take?

Most standard notarizations take 5–15 minutes. Loan signings or larger document packages can take 30–60 minutes or more.

Can a notary explain my documents?

No. A notary is not allowed to provide legal advice or explain the contents of your documents. If you have questions, you should contact an attorney or the document preparer.
