First off all ID must be presented before any notary is performed. Concerning the paperwork that needs notarization, all spaces that are blank or empty must be filled in between the notary and the client at this time. All signatures must be signed in front of the notary before they get a stamp or a seal. Once documents are signed and sealed this makes it official as written on paperwork. If there is verbridge missing or should have been added, this document must be done over with the correct information with a new stamp and seal of approval at this time.

Double check all information before getting your required seal and stamp:

• Fill in all blank spaces such as the locations of properties bought or sold, the names of the parties to an agreement, etc.
• Do not sign contracts or binding documents that you have not thoroughly read.

Next, Consider hiring a lawyer to review the document if you feel you do not fully understand what you are reading, they are professionals at this and they will explain the readings where you would understand. If your document is legal in nature, or will be legally binding on you or other parties, you may wish an attorney look over this as well. By hiring a legal professional to do this, protects yourself from unwanted consequences due to language in the document. These professionals can make sure that your document is viable.

• Once a document is notarized, you cannot change it, so it must be correct before you notarize.
• With the attorney reading through the document and pointing out any errors and loopholes you should correct.
• You can get an attorney review at any time, but the document will need notarization again if changes are necessary. Getting a review first can save time and money later.
• If you feel you are not in need of an attorney, thoroughly look over your document, make sure that the document meets all the legal requirements.

To be on the safe side, I would print copies of the documents you got notarized. The person signing the document must provide ID for notarization or the notary public will not be able to sign and seal this document. Their only job is to act as a means to validate the authenticity of the document. They are unlikely to make a copy of your document.

Copies may be provided to all parties who signed this document if requested. Contact those who must sign the document and give them copies to look over in advance. They may wish to hire their own legal professional to help them examine the document, this is fine.  They may also wish to make changes before the document is notarized which is fine as well. Give them the document before you go to the notary public to avoid complications.

• If you are the only person who must sign the document, then you don’t need to contact other parties.
• Ask the other parties to examine the document closely.

Make sure the document has a space for the notary to sign and place their seal.This is usually near the end of the document or near the place where you will have to  sign. The seal and signature of the notary public serves as an authenticating mark. Once this seal is placed, the binding nature of the information in your document if officially recognized.
