A Notary's duty is to screen the signers of important documents for their true identity, their willingness to sign without duress or intimidation, and their awareness of the contents of the document or transaction. Some notarizations also require the Notary to put the signer under an oath, declaring under penalty of perjury that the information contained in a document is true and correct. Property deeds, wills and powers of attorney are examples of documents that commonly require a Notary.

Impartiality is the foundation of the Notary Public's trust. They are duty-bound not to act in situations where they have a personal interest. The public trusts that the Notary's screening tasks have not been corrupted by self-interest.  Impartiality dictates that a Notary Public never refuse to serve a person due to race, nationality, religion, politics, sexual orientation or status as a non-customer.  

Apostille is a certification that authenticates the origin of a public document. It is required when a document issued in one country needs to be used in another *Hague country. 

The original notarized documents are provided to the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services for review and Apostille approval.  We accept Apostille request to Hague countries.

*Hague Convention Countries are the countries that participant in the Apostille Convention (Hague Treaty Convention 12) and the convention is in force with the United States of America.

In-person electronic notarization (IPEN) is just like a tradiational paper-based notarization with one exception: the documents being notaried are electronic. During an IPEN, the signer and Notary meet physically face-to-face, review the documents on a computer or mobile device, and use electronic signatures in place of ink signatures.

Remote Online Notarization, a signer personally appears before the Notary at the time of the notarization using audio-visual technology over the internet instead of being physically present in the same room.  Remote online notarization is also called webcam notarization, online notarization or vitural notarization.

A wedding officiant is perhaps best known as the person who leads the wedding ceremony.  As a wedding officiant I work with the couple before the wedding day to craft how they would like their ceremony, which may include personal vows, readings, music selections, and more.  

I am also willing to work with your wedding celebrant.  A wedding celebrant  is a person who performs a ruitual or provides a speak during the ceremony.  I would then legalize the officiant part of your ceremony.  Ceremonies may include elopments, customized, formal, theme, traditional, non-traditional weddings, vow renewals, baby naming, etc.

As the officiant I am legally ordained to perform weddings in your state and understand your state's jurisdiction laws as they pertain to the marriage license.  On your wedding day, I will fill, sign the marriage license (along with witnesses that you provide) and send the license back to the county clerk's office for certification.
