We suggest you don't sign or date the document (some documents must be signed and dated in the presence of a Notary)
Make sure you have all the pages of the document(s) being signed, not just the signature page
Make sure all document signers have state-acceptable ID
Generally, notarizations come in three basic types:
Acknowledgments — The purpose of an acknowledgment is to declare that you have willingly signed a document.
Jurats — The purpose of a jurat is for you to swear or affirm that the contents of the document are true.
Copy Certifications — The purpose of a certified copy is to have the Notary confirm that the copy is an exact match of the original. This is not allowed in all states.
