Notarization is a critical step in preventing fraud and ensuring the authenticity and credibility of documents. Diana’s Mobile Notary makes notary services in Santa Rosa, California, accessible to you. To streamline the signing process and make it as smooth as possible, it’s essential to properly prepare and complete your documents before the signing appointment. The following is a guide to ensure you are properly prepared.

First, confirm you have a valid non-expired photo ID. If your ID is expired, if it was issued within the last 5 years, it is acceptable. If no current ID is available, 2 credible identifying witnesses can be used. These witnesses need to know you personally and be able to vouch for your identity. They must have valid non-expired photo IDs that will be recorded in the Notary Journal on your behalf. And they must be able to meet with you and the Notary Public when you sign your documents.

Next, obtain or create your documents. If you are unable to create the documents you need, consult a lawyer. Once you have the required documents, double check to make sure your documents are complete and accurate. Check for any misspellings, missing information, blank spaces, or inconsistencies. Any errors or ambiguities will cause delays in the notarization process. Next, complete the documents where needed. Make sure to print legibly. Do not sign the documents until you are in the presence of a Notary Public.

Next, choose a reputable notary public or notary service. Mobile notaries are a great choice for convenience and professionalism, as they come to you at a time and location that is convenient for your schedule. It is prudent to look at reviews. For example, here are the last two 5-star reviews Diana of Diana’s Mobile Notary received:
