Certified Notary Public
Professional notary services - convenient, reliable, and available when you need it.
What I Offer
An acknowledgment is the most common notarial act - I verify your identity, witness your signature, and confirm you're signing of your own free will. This is required on a wide range of documents including deeds, powers of attorney, loan documents, and contracts. If you're not sure whether your document needs an acknowledgment, bring it along and I'll take a look.
A jurat is used when a document requires a sworn statement - you sign in my presence and take an oath or affirmation that the contents are true. Common examples include affidavits, sworn declarations, and certain court filings. I'll administer the oath and complete the notarial certificate to make your document legally valid.
Sometimes a document or legal proceeding requires a verbal oath or affirmation without a written signature - I'm authorized to administer both. An oath invokes a solemn promise; an affirmation is a non-religious alternative that carries the same legal weight. This service is often requested for depositions, court-related matters, and official proceedings.
Need a verified copy of an important document? I can certify that a photocopy is a true and accurate reproduction of the original. This is commonly used for passports, diplomas, business records, and other personal documents. Note that state laws vary on which documents can be copy-certified - I'll confirm eligibility at the time of your appointment.
