Frequently Asked Questions

NNA certification comes from the National Notary Association, which educates and certifies notaries to uphold the highest ethical standards. NNA-certified notaries are thoroughly knowledgeable about the legal aspects of notarization, making them reliable and trustworthy for handling your documents.

Notarization is essential because it helps prevent fraud by verifying that the parties signing the document are who they claim to be. A notarized document ensures that all signatures are genuine and that everyone has agreed to the terms knowingly and willingly, providing legal assurance and peace of mind.

Notarized documents verify the authenticity of signatures on legal and financial documents, ensuring they are legally binding. This process involves a notary public who checks the signers’ identities and makes sure they understand and agree to the document contents. Notarization adds a layer of security, protecting against disputes and falsification, and is crucial for maintaining the integrity of important agreements

Documents commonly requiring notarization include real estate deeds, wills, trusts, medical directives, powers of attorney, and various contracts. Notarization ensures these documents are authentic and legally enforceable.

In real estate transactions, a notary ensures that property deeds and related documents are correctly executed and that all parties understand the terms involved. Notaries verify the identities of the signers, witness the signing, and apply a seal to validate the documents legally.

In mortgage transactions, a notary confirms the identities of all parties signing the documents, witnesses the signatures, and applies a notarial seal.

Notarizing loan documents adds a security layer by ensuring that the signer is aware of and agrees to the contents of the documents. This process helps prevent fraud and misunderstandings in significant financial transactions like loans.

An acknowledgment and a jurat are two types of notarial acts with different purposes and requirements. An acknowledgment verifies that a document’s signer is who they say they are, understands the document, and signs voluntarily. A jurat, in contrast, requires the signer to swear or affirm in the presence of the notary that the document’s contents are true.
