What do I need to do in order to prepare for my signing?

All notarizations require your identity to be proven. So please have a valid (not expired) photo ID available.

Acceptable and valid (not expired) forms of ID include:

Driver's license or state ID

U.S. passport or passport card

A valid foreign passport

U.S. military ID

ID card issued by the USCIS

**Social security cards, birth certificates and/or credit cards are NOT acceptable forms of valid ID.

I don't know which type of notarization is needed. Can you tell me which form I should choose?

No. As a Notary Public appointed and commissioned by the Illinois Secretary of State, I can only perform notarial acts. If you are unsure of the type of notarization that's needed, you would need to contact the party that is requesting notarization.

I am not authorized to prepare any legal documents or fill in blanks of any document other than a notary certificate.

I AM NOT AN ATTORNEY LICENSED TO PRACTICE LAW IN ILLINOIS AND MAY NOT GIVE LEGAL ADVICE OR ACCEPT FEES FOR LEGAL ADVICE.
