BEFORE YOU CHOOSE A TIME

What to bring: Your document

A practical checklist for this request. The document’s issuer or recipient may require additional items; confirm their instructions before the visit.

1. Your identification

Each signer should bring an original passport, driver’s license or government-issued nondriver ID that is current or expired no more than three years before the appointment. Other government ID with a photo or signature may be acceptable to the notary. Zachary may request additional identification.

No ID, an older expiration date or a name difference? Call before booking so Zachary can review lawful alternatives. A document witness is not automatically an identity witness. Do not upload ID photos or numbers.

2. Your documents

• The complete document you were asked to notarize and any instructions supplied with it.

3. Check before the visit

• Ask the issuing or receiving organization which notarial act, signers, witnesses and attachments it requires.
• Call Zachary to discuss the request without sending sensitive document contents. A document title alone cannot establish every requirement.
• Have every person whose signature will be notarized attend with their own ID. Bring any separate witnesses required for this document.
• Zavala’s witness policy excludes family members. Supplied witnesses need at least seven days’ notice and Zachary’s confirmation.

4. When to sign

Wait for Zachary’s signing instructions. Complete your own information beforehand, but leave the notary’s certificate, seal and notarial date for the notary.
