In order to have a document Notarized in California you must appear before a Notary Public being of sound mind and with an acceptable form of identification. A Notary Public's sole purpose is to inspect your identification and ensure that you are who you say you are, and that you are willing to sign the document. Please note, when preparing for a Notarization in California it is best not to sign the document before you are in the Notaries presence as it could invalidate the document.

You must have the document you wish to have Notarized in hand. Notaries are not allowed to create or suggest documents they Notarize in the State of California. If you are uncertain of what type of document you need to have Notarized then you may research further with any attorney you choose or visit LAWDEPOT.COM for the most commonly Notarized documents.
