Addressing common concerns

Navigating the notarization process can sometimes present unique challenges. Here are some common situations we've encountered and how we handle them to ensure a smooth and compliant notarization.

People who only speak a foreign language
For notarizations involving individuals who do not speak English, it is crucial that the signer understands the document they are signing. We recommend having a certified translator present or ensuring the document is in a language the signer fully comprehends. Notaries cannot translate documents or interpret their content.

People who bring a document that is already signed
A notarization requires the signer to appear before the notary and sign the document in the notary's presence. If a document is already signed, the signer must re-sign the document before the notary, or the notary will need to complete a jurat or acknowledgment where the signer acknowledges their signature and understands the document's content.

Someone who does not understand the document that is to be signed
A notary's role is to verify identity and witness signatures, not to provide legal advice or explain document contents. If a signer does not understand the document, we cannot proceed with the notarization. It is essential for the signer to fully comprehend the document's nature and purpose before signing. We recommend consulting with legal counsel if you have questions about the document's content.
