🩷 Please Do Not Sign Your Documents Before Your Notary Appointment 🩷
One of the most common mistakes I see is clients signing their documents before meeting with the notary.
In many cases, the notary is required to witness the signature and verify the identity of the signer at the time the document is signed.
Before your appointment:
✔️ Review your documents
✔️ Complete any information requested
✔️ Have your valid government-issued ID ready
❌ Do NOT sign the document
Signing too early could delay your appointment or require additional steps before the document can be notarized.
