General Notary Questions

What is a notary?

A notary is a commissioned official who helps verify signer identity, witness eligible signatures, administer oaths or affirmations when required, and complete notarial certificates according to applicable rules.

What ID is required for notarization?

A current, valid government-issued photo ID is typically required. The name on the ID should reasonably match the signer and document information. Requirements may vary based on the document and applicable notary rules.

Can a notary explain my document or give legal advice?

No. A notary cannot provide legal advice, explain legal meaning, choose the notarial act for you, or tell you how to complete a document. If you need legal guidance, consult a qualified attorney or the document issuer.

Does every signer need to be present?

Yes. Any person whose signature is being notarized generally must appear before the notary with acceptable identification and be willing and aware when signing.

Loan Closing Questions

Do you handle loan closings?

Yes. EC Notary Services LLC supports eligible loan closing and real estate signing appointments, including purchase, refinance, seller, buyer, and closing-related document appointments.

What should I prepare for a loan signing appointment?

Have valid identification ready, review any instructions from your lender or signing contact, confirm the appointment time and location, and ensure all required signers are available.

Can I upload loan documents before the appointment?

Yes. Customers can upload documents through the customer portal so appointment details and preparation needs can be reviewed before the signing.

Mobile Notary Questions

Do you offer mobile notary services?

Mobile notary service may be available by appointment depending on location, schedule, document type, signer readiness, and service requirements.

What location information is needed for mobile service?

Please provide the appointment address or general service location when requesting mobile notary service. This helps determine availability, timing, and any travel-related requirements.

Is mobile service guaranteed?

No. Mobile service is subject to availability, location, pricing, schedule, and document requirements. Appointment requests are reviewed before confirmation.

What documents cannot be notarized?

A notary may be unable to notarize incomplete documents, documents with blank required fields, documents where the signer is not present, documents where identity cannot be verified, or documents requiring legal guidance outside the notary role.

Payment Questions

How does payment work?

Payment details, pricing, and receipt requirements may vary by service type, mobile service needs, location, and appointment requirements. Payment status can be tracked in the customer portal.
