What Happens During a Notary Visit
Arrive with unsigned document and valid photo ID
The document should be unsigned when you arrive. We review the document structure and confirm which notarial act is needed (acknowledgment, jurat, oath, etc.).
Identity verification
The notary reviews your government-issued photo ID. The name on the ID must reasonably match the name in the document. Any required witnesses must also present their IDs.
Signer reads and understands the document
The notary confirms that the signer is acting willingly and understands the general nature of what they are signing. We cannot explain the legal effect of the document — only an attorney can do that.
Document is signed in the notary's presence
The signer signs in front of the notary. For a jurat or oath, the signer also takes an oath affirming the document's truthfulness.
Notary completes the notarial certificate
The notary fills in the notarial certificate (date, county, state, expiration of commission), stamps the document, and signs. The notarization is now complete.
Notary FAQ
Do all signers need to be present for notarization in London?
Yes. Each signer must appear in person before the notary, present acceptable government-issued photo ID, and demonstrate willingness to sign. The document should be unsigned when the signer arrives — signing before the notary witnesses it defeats the purpose of the notarization.
Can you notarize immigration affidavits and family statements?
Yes. We regularly notarize affidavits of support, relationship declarations, consent letters, sponsor statements, and other immigration-related documents when the signer has valid photo ID and the document is ready for signature. We do not prepare the legal content of the affidavit — that is your responsibility or your immigration preparer's.
Can a notary give legal advice or choose the form for me?
No. A notary public verifies identity, witnesses signatures, and completes the notarial certificate. Ohio notaries do not provide legal advice, select legal documents, or draft the language in an agreement. If you need help preparing the underlying document, consult an attorney or accredited representative.
How much does notarization cost in London?
Ohio law caps per-signature notary fees. Our office charges a flat service fee that covers identity review, notarization, and recordkeeping. Contact us for current pricing. For immigration packets with multiple notarized pages, we can give you a total estimate before you bring documents in.
What ID is acceptable for notarization?
Acceptable identification includes a current government-issued photo ID — Ohio driver's license, state ID, U.S. passport, or equivalent. The name on the ID must reasonably match the name in the document. Expired IDs are generally not accepted.
Do I need witnesses for a power of attorney notarization in Ohio?
Some Ohio powers of attorney require witnesses in addition to notarization — particularly durable healthcare powers of attorney. The document itself usually specifies whether witnesses are required. Bring any required witnesses with valid photo IDs when you come in.
What is an apostille and do you help with it?
An apostille is an authentication certificate issued by the Ohio Secretary of State that makes an Ohio notarized document recognized in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. We can notarize your document and explain the next steps to obtain an apostille from the Ohio Secretary of State's office. We do not issue apostilles ourselves.
Why does "signer is not present" cause problems at notarization?
This is one of the most common issues for will notary notarizations. We check for it during the appointment and explain how to address it if it comes up. Most problems are preventable when the signer calls ahead or brings all required materials.
