Frequently Asked Questions
Do all signers need to be present?
Yes. Every person whose signature is being notarized must be physically present at the time of the appointment. A notary cannot notarize a signature for someone who is not there.
What identification is accepted?
Each signer must present valid, acceptable identification at the appointment. Accepted forms of ID may include a driver’s license, state-issued identification card, passport, or other government-issued photo ID (see list below of acceptable forms of identification)
.
If you are unsure whether your identification will be accepted, please call or text before scheduling.

Should I sign my document before the appointment?
Please review your documents before the appointment, but do not sign them ahead of time if the notarization requires your signature to be witnessed. If you are unsure, ask before your appointment.
Can Diane explain my document or give legal advice?
No. You should understand the contents of your document before the appointment. Diane cannot provide legal advice or explain the legal effect of the document for you.
Are witnesses required for every document?
No. Some documents require witnesses, while others do not. It is important to confirm your document requirements ahead of time. If needed, I am happy to bring qualified witnesses along. Please keep in mind that all witnesses must possess valid and acceptable identification to participate. Additionally, if the signing is taking place at a medical facility, be aware that most institutions do not allow their employees to act as witnesses, so reaching out early ensures we have the required parties present to complete your notarization smoothly.
Can Diane provide witnesses?
Witnesses may be available if arranged in advance. Please do not wait until the last minute to ask.
If your appointment takes place at a hospital, rehab facility, nursing home, or assisted living community, do not assume staff members can serve as witnesses, as most institutions do not allow this.
Can Diane come to a hospital, rehab facility, or care community?
Yes. Diane can travel to hospitals, rehab facilities, nursing homes, assisted living communities, and other care settings for mobile notarization appointments.
These appointments may require extra planning, especially if witnesses are needed or building access is limited.
What if the signer is elderly, ill, or has physical limitations?
Accommodations may be available for individuals with physical difficulties. However, the signer must still be alert, aware, and able to communicate clearly.
The signer must understand what they are signing and must be willing to sign voluntarily.
Can documents in another language be notarized?
No. Documents must be written in English.
Can Diane help if documents need to be printed?
Printing assistance may be available in some situations. If you need help printing documents before your appointment, please ask in advance.
Why would a notarization be refused?
A notarization may be refused if:
the signer is not physically present
the signer does not have valid identification
the signer does not understand the document
the signer appears unwilling or pressured to sign
the signer is unable to communicate clearly
the document is incomplete or not ready for notarization
Questions Before You Schedule
