The signers must know which document requires notarization. Notaries cannot advise on which document to notarize. Therefore, the signer must be clear on what needs to be signed and notarized before the appointment.
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS
If applicable, the signer should bring copies of documents like marriage certificates, proof of address, or legal identification copies that may need to be referenced as supporting documents.
