Doniell’s Notary

What happens when someone needs a document notarized but physically cannot sign their name the way they normally would?

Maybe they had a stroke, have limited hand movement, are recovering from surgery, or simply cannot write a full signature anymore.

That does NOT automatically mean the notarization is impossible.

Depending on the situation and the type of notarization being completed, there may be another legally permitted way for the signer to execute the document, such as using a mark or another approved signing procedure.

The important part? Don’t try to “help” by signing for them on your own or have someone else sign their name before speaking with the notary.

Call first. Explain the signer’s situation and let the notary determine what can properly be done under the applicable rules.

These are the kinds of situations where having an experienced notary matters.

You need tax filing if you did any of this during the year 👇🏾

• Worked a job and received a W-2
• Made money from self-employment, freelancing, side work, or gig work
• Received 1099 income
• Owned or operated a business
• Sold stocks, investments, or cryptocurrency
• Received unemployment income
• Had rental income
• Earned income from multiple jobs or different sources
• Received Marketplace health insurance and need to reconcile your tax credit
• Had taxes withheld and may be due a refund
• Had other taxable income that may need to be reported

And don’t automatically assume you “didn’t make enough to file.” Filing requirements depend on your income, filing status, age, and the type of income you received.

Not sure if you’re required to file? That’s exactly what a tax professional is for.

Things people say about notarization that are NOT automatically true

❌ “If my parent/spouse is too sick to communicate, the notary can still do it because the family knows what they want.”
Not like that. A notary cannot simply rely on family members speaking for a signer who cannot participate in the required notarial act.

❌ “If the notary knows me, I don’t have to be there.”
Knowing you may help establish identity in certain situations, but it does NOT replace the required appearance before the notary.

❌ “A notary can look over my will, POA, deed, or contract and tell me if I did it right.”
Unless that notary is also acting as your attorney, that crosses into legal advice. Indiana specifically prohibits a non-attorney notary from choosing the proper notarization or preparing legal documents for you.

❌ “Any video call counts as an online notarization.”
Nope. FaceTime, Messenger, or a regular Zoom call does not automatically make something a Remote Online Notarization. Indiana RONs have specific authorization, technology, identity-verification, and recording requirements.

❌ “If my spouse is a notary, they can just notarize my paperwork.”
Not necessarily. Indiana prohibits a notary from performing a notarial act for their spouse or when the notary or spouse may benefit from the transaction.

❌ “If a notary notarized it, the courthouse, lender, title company, or other office HAS to accept it.”
No. The receiving organization can have its own requirements for the document. A proper notarization does not guarantee the document will be accepted for its intended purpose.

THIS is why “my cousin said…” and “the last notary did it…” aren’t the rules. 😂

There is a lot more to notarization than putting a stamp on a piece of paper.

The Anatomy of a Professional Mobile Notary Appointment

A professional mobile notary appointment is more than showing up with a stamp. There’s a process behind making sure the signing is handled correctly from beginning to end.

Before the appointment:
• Appointment details and location are confirmed
• Document type and signer requirements are reviewed
• ID and witness needs are clarified

At the appointment:
• The signer’s identity is verified
• Willingness and awareness are assessed
• The correct notarial act is completed
• Required signatures and certificates are reviewed carefully

Before leaving:
• The notarial certificate is checked for accuracy
• Any required journal entry is completed
• The signer is reminded of any next steps for submitting or returning the document

That preparation is what turns a basic appointment into professional service.
