What Happens During a Notary Appointment

You bring the unsigned document and a valid form of identification to the appointment in Trenton, or the notary comes to your location if you've arranged mobile service. The notary checks your ID against your name on the document, confirms you understand what you're signing, and watches you sign. After you sign, the notary fills out the notarial certificate and applies the official stamp.

Once the notarization is complete, your document carries a notarial seal that confirms your identity and willingness to sign. This seal is what banks, courts, and government offices look for when they receive your paperwork. It reduces the chance of rejection and keeps your filing or submission on track.

The notary does not provide legal advice or alter the content of your document. If a section is incomplete or unclear, you may need to consult the organization that issued the form or seek legal guidance before proceeding. The service focuses entirely on proper execution and compliance with state notary law.

Can you notarize a document that is already signed?
No, you must sign the document in the presence of the notary. If it's already signed, the notarization cannot be completed because the notary must witness the act of signing.

Why do some documents require notarization?
Notarization confirms your identity and shows that you signed willingly and with understanding. Courts, lenders, and government agencies use this confirmation to reduce fraud and ensure the document is legitimate.
