STEP 3: Screen The Signer And Verify The Facts - Screen the signer’s identity according to your state’s requirements, ask them if they are signing willingly and watch to verify that they are aware of what they are doing.

STEP 4: Record The Notarization - Some states require specific information to be recorded; you must know and follow these requirements.

STEP 5: Complete The Notarization - Fill out, sign, and affix your official seal to the Notary certificate.
