Jul 30

Introduction

Notarization is a crucial step in authenticating many legal and financial documents. Whether you’re new to the process or need a refresher, understanding what happens during notarization can help you feel confident and prepared.

At Cannon Mobile Notary, we guide clients through every stage of the notarization process, ensuring accuracy, security, and professionalism in every appointment.

Step 1: Scheduling Your Mobile Notary Appointment

Contact a reputable mobile notary service like Cannon Mobile Notary to arrange a convenient date, time, and location for your signing.
Mobile notaries offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends, and come to your home, office, hospital, or any preferred site.

Step 2: Preparing Your Documents

Ensure all documents are complete and free of blank spaces.
Have all necessary forms ready, and gather valid government-issued photo identification for all signers.

Step 3: Verification of Identity

The notary will request your government-issued photo ID to confirm your identity legally.
This step prevents fraud and confirms that the person signing the documents is indeed who they claim to be.

Step 4: Review of Documents

The mobile notary will review the documents to ensure everything is in order for notarization.
While notaries do not provide legal advice, they ensure the documents are ready to be signed and notarized properly.

Step 5: Witnessing the Signing

You will sign or initial documents in the presence of the notary.
The notary may also require witnesses depending on the document type and state law.

Step 6: Notarization

The notary completes the notarization by applying their official seal and signature, affirming that the signing was witnessed and verified.
The notary also records the details of the notarization in their official journal for legal record-keeping.

Step 7: Completion and Document Return

After notarization, the notary may provide you with copies of your documents for your records.
For loan signings or other complex transactions, the notary securely returns the documents to the appropriate lender, title company, or legal entity.
