Common Notarial Acts
The wording printed on your document usually decides which act is required. If the certificate is missing or you are not sure which applies, bring the document and we will identify it at the appointment.

Questions about documents
We notarize estate planning documents such as trusts, wills, powers of attorney and advance healthcare directives; real estate and financial documents including deeds, loan packages and refinances; fiduciary and legal documents; school, college and university records; healthcare and hospital paperwork; and general notarial work such as affidavits and sworn statements. We also handle apostilles and deed recordings.
In an acknowledgement, you declare to the notary that the signature on the document is yours and that you signed it willingly. You may have signed it before the appointment. In a jurat, you swear or affirm that the contents of the document are true, and you must sign it in the notary’s presence. The wording already printed on your document usually tells the notary which one is required.
An apostille is a certificate that authenticates a California notary’s signature so the document is accepted in another country that belongs to the Hague Apostille Convention. It is issued by the California Secretary of State, not by the notary. Common uses include overseas adoptions, dual citizenship applications, international business filings and foreign property transactions. We notarize the document and handle the apostille process for you.
Only in narrow circumstances. A California notary public may certify a copy of a power of attorney. For most other documents, including birth certificates, marriage certificates and diplomas, a certified copy must come from the agency or institution that issued it, or from the county recorder. If you are not sure which applies, call us before the appointment and we will tell you what to expect.
Yes. California law requires each signer to personally appear before the notary at the time of notarization. We cannot notarize a signature for someone who is absent, even with their permission, and we cannot notarize a document that has been mailed or emailed to us for signature.
Identification must be current or have been issued within the past five years. A California driver’s license or state ID and a United States passport are the most common. We also accept an out-of-state driver’s license or ID card, a foreign passport, a consular ID, a U.S. military ID, a state or local government employee ID, and a federally recognized tribal government ID, provided the document carries a photograph, description, signature and identifying number.
Send the details and we will confirm the notary, the appointment time and the full cost before we travel.
