What Happens During a Notary Appointment

You arrive with the document that requires notarization, a valid government-issued ID such as a driver's license or passport, and any instructions from the requesting party. In East Elmhurst, most appointments take less than fifteen minutes once you have the correct paperwork and identification. Garcia CPA PLLC reviews the document to confirm it is complete and ready for notarization, verifies your identity, and watches you sign in their presence before applying the notary seal.

After the notary stamp is applied, the document becomes legally notarized and can be submitted to courts, financial institutions, government agencies, or other parties that require it. You receive a copy of the notarized document if needed, and the notary maintains a record of the transaction in their journal as required by New York law. This record includes the date, type of document, and identification used, which protects both you and the notary in case questions arise later.

Mobile notary services follow the same process but take place at a location you choose. This option works well for business owners who need multiple signatures notarized during a meeting, elderly clients who cannot travel easily, or anyone managing a time-sensitive closing or filing. The notary brings the seal, journal, and any forms needed to complete the process on-site, so you do not have to worry about missing steps or making additional trips.

People who schedule notary services often have questions about what identification is acceptable, whether the document needs to be signed in advance, and how mobile appointments are arranged. These answers help you prepare and avoid delays.

What you should know before booking

You need a valid government-issued photo ID such as a driver's license, passport, or state ID card. The ID must be current and match the name on the document being notarized.
What forms of identification are accepted for notarization?
No, you should not sign the document before the notary appointment. The notary must witness you signing in their presence, so bring the document unsigned and ready to complete during the appointment.
Should I sign the document before I arrive?
Most mobile appointments in East Elmhurst can be scheduled within 24 to 48 hours, but same-day service may be available depending on the notary's schedule. Contact Garcia CPA PLLC as soon as you know you need mobile notary services to confirm availability.
How far in advance do I need to schedule a mobile notary appointment?
Garcia CPA PLLC can notarize powers of attorney, affidavits, loan documents, real estate deeds, business contracts, medical authorizations, and most other documents that require a notary seal. If you are unsure whether your document qualifies, you can ask when you schedule the appointment.
What types of documents can be notarized?
Fees vary depending on whether the service is in-office or mobile and how many documents require notarization. Mobile notary services typically include a travel fee in addition to the per-signature charge, which is set by New York state law.
