To sign many legal documents, a notary is required to make the document official. They verify your identity and act as a witness as you sign your document. It is a safety net to ensure that there is no deceit when signing legal documents, and that you can feel safe that your document is legitimate. Not only businesses need notaries.  We do work with title companies and lenders, as well as other types of real estate, structured settlements, among others. But, sometimes individuals need notaries, too.
