Common Documents We Notarize:

Affidavits

An affidavit is a written statement where the writer must confirm that the details are true and accurate. This document is often used for witness statements in civil and criminal trials, though there are other situations when one may be needed. If the affidavit is required for court, it will need to be notarized. The document can be written out then signed in front of a notary who will confirm the person's identity.

Prenuptial Agreement

Many couples will create a prenuptial agreement to state what will happen if they decide to get a divorce. This can help minimize arguments if a divorce is needed since certain property types or other assets will already be separated. In addition, certain things cannot be in a prenup, such as giving up custody of potential children. Finally, when a prenup is desired, the couple will want to have it notarized to make sure there are no questions about whether it was signed by the correct people when it was created.

Marriage Documents

For a marriage to be legally binding, a marriage certificate must be signed and filed with the courts. This document needs to be notarized to ensure the correct people sign it and that no one is under duress when signed. Depending on the couple's preferences, the marriage certificate can be signed before, during, or after the wedding. Still, the marriage will not be legally binding until it is signed and filed with the courts.

Divorce Papers

The divorce process is long and includes many documents that need to be gathered, filled out, signed, and filed. Some of these documents may need to be notarized, such as affidavits to things that happened during the marriage or documents stating assets held by one or both spouses. A notary can oversee the signing of any documents during the divorce to make sure they are correctly signed and accepted by the courts.

Name Change

When a child’s name needs to be changed or if their birth certificate needs to be corrected, both parents must sign the forms required by the courts. These documents do need to be notarized to show that both parents were there to sign the document and that both are willing to change or correct the child’s name. The notary will check the identity of both parents to make sure they are the parents listed on the birth certificate, then notarize the form so it can be taken to court and filed to apply for the name change.

Covid Exempt Form

With many places requiring covid vaccinations, those who cannot or do not want to have one will need to see if they can be exempted. This can be done for medical or religious reasons in most places. When someone requests a medical exemption, they will need paperwork showing that they cannot be vaccinated. This will need to be signed in front of a notary to be valid, as it may not be accepted if it’s not notarized.

I-9 Verification

Someone applying for a job will need to prove they can work in the US or Maryland. To do this, they’ll need to fill out an I-9 verification form. This form may need to be notarized to show that the person signing it is who they say they are and that the information on the document is authentic. The notary will check the person’s identification and any other identifying information on the form before notarizing it. Once it is notarized, the potential employee can return the form to the company.

Financial Power of Attorney

Sometimes, a person is no longer capable of handling their finances or will need assistance with the finances for some time. If this happens, they will want to create a financial power of attorney, which gives a named person the legal ability to handle their behalf. Therefore, it is essential to have this document signed by a notary Hyattsville MD to ensure it is done correctly and ready to be filed with the courts.
