🚨 NOTARY TIP: DON’T SIGN JUST YET! ✍️
Heading to the notary with an important document?
When in doubt, leave the signature lines blank until your notary tells you where and when to sign.
Why?
Because the type of notarization being performed can determine how the document needs to be signed and what the notary must do with you during the appointment.
Your notary may need you to:
👀 Personally appear before them
🪪 Verify your identity
✍️ Sign the document in their presence
🙋♀️ Take an oath or affirmation
📋 Acknowledge your signature or the act you're performing
Bottom line: Don't assume. Ask your notary before you sign.
A few extra seconds can save you from having to redo a document—or worse, having to track down someone to sign it again. 😉
