You've scheduled your notary appointment - now what? A little preparation can make the appointment go a whole lot smoother.
Before your notary arrives, take a few minutes to make sure you have the important pieces ready:
✅A valid ID
✅Complete documents
✅All required signers
✅Witnesses (if required)
✅Any instructions provided by the document preparer
If you're not sure what you need to have ready, ask your notary before the appointment. It's so much easier to answer a question ahead of time than discover something is missing when everyone is sitting at the table.
