Confidentiality & Security: Why Your Documents Are Safe with a Mobile Notary

When dealing with legal documents—whether it's a Power of Attorney, loan package, medical affidavit, or estate paperwork—privacy is more than just a preference. It's essential.

Understandably, many clients wonder:
"Is it safe to hand over sensitive personal information to a mobile notary?"

The answer is: Yes. When you work with a certified, professional mobile notary like Cannon Mobile Notary, your documents and personal information are handled with the highest level of confidentiality, care, and legal compliance.

📌 The Notary’s Legal Obligation to Confidentiality

A Florida Notary Public is a sworn public official — not just someone who stamps papers. Under Florida law, notaries are bound to:

• Protect the privacy of signers

• Avoid disclosing sensitive information

• Ensure documents are not altered or tampered with

• Maintain accurate, secure records of notarizations

This legal obligation to confidentiality is especially critical when handling loan documents, healthcare directives, and legal powers of attorney — which often contain Social Security numbers, financial account information, or personal medical details.

🔐 How Mobile Notaries Protect Your Information

At Cannon Mobile Notary, we implement a series of professional safeguards to protect every document we handle. These include:

✅ Identity Verification Procedures

We verify the identity of each signer using government-issued photo ID to ensure the person signing is truly who they say they are.

✅ No Document Retention

We do not retain copies of your documents unless explicitly authorized to do so (such as in a loan signing scenario for return to the title company). This minimizes exposure.

✅ Secure Handling On-Site

We bring only the necessary tools to each appointment and handle all documents discreetly—whether we’re meeting at your home, hospital bedside, office, or public location.

✅ Professional Training & Certification

We are NNA-certified and trained in Loan Signing System (LSS) best practices, which emphasize secure handling, non-disclosure of document content, and ethical conduct.

✅ HIPAA Awareness

When working in medical or elder care settings, we are sensitive to HIPAA regulations and maintain full discretion when assisting with documents like living wills or healthcare POAs.

🤝 Why Trust Matters in Notarization

The role of a notary is not just to witness a signature — it’s to provide an added layer of trust and legal assurance. We understand that you’re trusting us with your life’s most personal paperwork — and we take that responsibility seriously.

At Cannon Mobile Notary, we’ve built our reputation on professionalism, punctuality, and integrity. Whether we’re notarizing a single form or handling a full loan signing package, every document is treated with respect, discretion, and care.
