Q: What should I bring with me?

A: Please bring all of the documents that you need to be notarized (and all pages of each). 

You must show a current government identification card (ID) that has been issued within the past five (5) years [per Civil Code Section 118(c)(3)&(4)]. The ID must have a photograph, description and signature of the person, and an identifying number. 

Examples of appropriate IDs: 

• Driver's license or identification card issued by the California Department of Motor Vehicles 
• U.S. Passport

• Personally know the signer
• Are not named in the document(s)
• Do not have a financial interest in the document(s)

Both credible witnesses must have proper ID, as described above. 

Q: What kind of payments do you accept?

A: I accept cash, credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, and American Express), and checks under $25.00. 

My rates are very reasonable and I offer special discounts on services to senior citizens, teachers, and hospice facilities. The travel fee is discussed above. 

Q: Are you licensed and bonded?

A: I am licensed and bonded.

My commission (license) expires 1/31/2027
