Tips for a Smooth Mobile Notary Appointment

Jul 30

Introduction

Preparing for a mobile notary appointment can help ensure the process goes smoothly, saving time and avoiding any last-minute hiccups. Whether it’s a simple notarization or a complex loan signing, a little preparation makes a big difference.

At Cannon Mobile Notary, we want every appointment to be efficient, comfortable, and professional for you. Here are our top tips to help you prepare for your mobile notary visit.

1. Have Valid Identification Ready

The notary must verify your identity with a valid government-issued photo ID. Acceptable forms typically include:

Driver’s license
Passport
State-issued ID card
Military ID

Make sure your ID is current and not expired to avoid delays.

2. Review Documents Beforehand

If possible, review your documents before the appointment so you understand what you’re signing. While the notary can explain general procedures, they cannot provide legal advice.

3. Arrange a Quiet, Well-Lit Signing Location

Choose a comfortable spot free from distractions. Good lighting helps the notary verify signatures and complete their work accurately.

4. Ensure All Signers Are Present

If multiple parties need to sign, coordinate so everyone is available at the scheduled time. Notarizations generally require all signers to appear in person.

5. Schedule at a Convenient Time

At Cannon Mobile Notary, we offer flexible scheduling—including evenings and weekends—to fit your busy lifestyle.

6. Have Any Supporting Documents Handy

Sometimes additional paperwork is required for notarization (e.g., previous documents, forms of payment). Confirm with your notary ahead of time if unsure.

7. Be Ready to Sign, But Don’t Sign in Advance

Do not sign documents before the notary is present. The notary must witness your signature for the notarization to be valid.

8. Ask Questions If Unsure

While notaries cannot provide legal advice, they can explain the notarization process and help clarify signing procedures.
