San Francisco Bay Area & Daly City Traveling Notary Public

Notarization “Musts”

Advanced Mobile Notary adheres to all California laws governing the practice and procedures of Notary Publics.

• The notary document signer must be physically present before the Notary at time of notarization. Note: a telephone call from the signer or the Notary's familiarity with the signature is not a personal appearance.

• The Notary must identify the signer through either (1) confirmation from a personally known, reliable, uninvolved witness who is under oath or (2) current government-issued ID card with photograph, signature and physical description.

• The Notary must be impartial and unbiased. The Notary cannot notarize a document bearing the Notary's name or signature, or that of the Notary's spouse or relative. The Notary cannot notarize any document that will in any way benefit the Notary.

• The Notary must keep an official record of each notarization and require the document signer to affix his or her signature, and thumbprint when necessary.

• The Notary cannot certify copies of vital documents, such as birth certificates, or of a recordable documents such as a deed. Copies of these documents must be issued only by the appropriate public records custodian, and not by the Notary.
