Why should you notarize your documents?
Notarizing your documents will make them legally valid. A notary public performs a verification process as an officer licensed by the state. This is required for specific documents in order to have legal effect.
Important: If you are interested in making a power of attorney which will be valid in Russia, you can find more information about that service here.
Can I notarize my birth certificate?
Virtually any document can be notarized, but not vital records such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and death certificates. You can get certified copies of those documents by the appropriate government agencies.
Is my personal appearance required to get my document notarized?
It depends on in which state you’re trying to get your documents notarized.
California requires the personal appearance of the signer in order to notarize documents. California notary publics are not authorized to do remote online notarization.
In Florida, there are now two options for notarizing documents. In addition to a personal appearance of the signer, as of January 2020, it is possible for newly approved notary publics to notarize documents via audio-video conference. These notary publics can notarize the signer’s signature through a live video conference. Our notary public in the Miami office is currently in the process of being trained to be able to notarize documents via audio-video conference. We will update this article as soon as remote notarization is available at our Miami office.
Our fee for notarization is $15 dollars per signature.
What to do before your Notary visit:
Be ready to tell what kind of notarization you need. Notaries can not advise you on what to do. They can just provide you with information about types of notarization.
Most people need one of these three types of notarizations: acknowledgements, jurats, and copy certifications.
-
An acknowledgement is the most common type of notarization. It declares that you have willingly signed a document.
-
A jurat is for you to swear or affirm that the contents of the document is true.
-
A copy certification has the notary confirm that the copy is an exact match of the original. This is allowed in Florida, but not in California. In California the notary public certifies the signature of the signer who is the custodian of the document.
