Important Limitations of Notarial Services

At The Apostille & Notary Experts, we’re committed to providing a smooth, professional, and stress-free notary experience. To ensure every notarization complies with state and federal law, it’s important to understand what a Notary Public can—and cannot—do.

While we’re happy to guide you through the notarization process, there are certain limitations we’re legally required to follow. These boundaries are in place to protect both you and the integrity of your documents.

We kindly ask that you review the following restrictions before your appointment:

  • We cannot accept identification that is expired (issued over 5 years ago), damaged, taped, missing key information, or contains a photo or description that does not reasonably match the signer.

  • We cannot accept digital copies or screenshots of an ID on a cell phone. Identification must be physical, tangible, and government-issued.

  • We cannot notarize documents unless all signers are physically present and able to communicate clearly and directly with the notary.

  • We cannot use interpreters during the notarization. The signer must communicate in a language the notary understands. This ensures the notary can confirm understanding and willingness without relying on a third party.

  • We will not proceed if the signer appears unaware of what they are signing or unable to understand it.

  • We are not attorneys and therefore cannot offer legal or real estate-related advice, guidance, or interpretations.

  • We cannot provide or prepare documents for you. All paperwork must be completed, reviewed, and ready at the time of the appointment.

  • We will not notarize documents that contain:

    • Blank lines, empty fields, or unchecked boxes

    • Missing pages or required attachments

    • Name discrepancies between the document and the signer’s ID (such as suffixes like Jr., Sr., III, etc.)

  • We also cannot complete a notarization without proper identification, required witnesses, or a valid verbal oath/affirmation when applicable.

If you're unsure whether your documents or ID meet these requirements, please don’t hesitate to call us before scheduling your appointment. We're here to help you prepare properly, so everything goes smoothly during service.

A Notary's Authority

As a Notary, we uphold a vital position in the legal and business industry. Our role, often perceived as simply “Signing or notarizing a document,” is in fact, a complex and critical duty. Each day we face situations where our decisions challenge the expectations of our clients or their family members. Being a notary means taking on a public responsibility to safeguard against fraud and uphold the integrity of the legal process. How? We're glad you asked!

  • We adhere to our professional and legal obligations with integrity, fairness, and transparency, not just when it's convenient but especially when it's complicated.

  • Our clients entrust us with their legal and personal affairs, and in return, we honor that trust by performing our duties in an impartial, diligent, and thorough manner. When faced with difficult decisions, we do what's right, even if it's not the easiest choice.

  • The law mandates that we verify a signer's identity through satisfactory evidence. This duty is non-negotiable. As notaries, we cannot waive these requirements based on convenience, relationship, or even pressure from a client or customer.

  • As notaries, we are public officials bound by an oath to the Secretary of State to serve impartially. We are expected to decide based on what's right, even when the law doesn't provide clear direction.

  • We promise to uphold the California Secretary of State's laws and duties, serve without bias, and perform our duties faithfully. This oath is not conditional on whether or not our work is recognized, praised, or even appreciated by others.

  • We do the right thing even when no one is watching because we've sworn an oath to serve.
