WeHo Notary - 24hr Traveling Notary Public & Loan Signing Service for West Hollywood and the Greater Los Angeles Area

Preparing for Your Appointment

Please review all documents that are to be notarized. Take care to ensure that all documents are complete and all information is accurate. Be sure to disclose nature of the document(s) to the notary prior to your appointment (e.g., the document concerns real estate).

The notary is not legally authorized to interpret the document for you. If you have questions about your document, you must either contact your legal representative or the creator of the document. This ensures that you and the notary are prepared at the appointed time.

It is in your best interest to be as fully prepared as possible before any scheduled appointment. Cancellation of an appointment due to unpreparedness will be subject to any/all applicable fees. To circumvent this, please notify WeHo Notary as soon as possible to reschedule or cancel your appointment.

All signers/witnesses, with valid identification, must be present at the appointment. Valid forms of ID include:

Current California driver's license. If not current, must be expired no more than 5 years
Other state-approved photo ID with signature
A current driver's license from another state
A current United States passport
A Canadian or Mexican driver's license issued by a public agency authorized to issue driver's licenses
A military ID card
An inmate ID card issued by the California Department of Corrections (if in custody)
Any foreign government-issued passport that has been stamped by the U.S. Immigration or Naturalization Service

If you are an inmate, payment must be made before meeting with the notary. You must also provide the following:

Your full, legal name
X-reference number or booking number
Date of birth
The contact person's name and phone number

*WILLS*
Unless under the direct supervison of an attorney and the provision of a notarial certificate, a notary cannot "legally notarize" a will. When wills require a signature, it is often the signature of witnesses on affidavits appended to the will that must be notarized, not the signature of the testator or testatrix (maker of the will).

The California Notary Public Handbook states, "The California State Bar advises that when a Notary is asked to notarize a document which purports to be a will, the Notary public should decline and advise the person requesting the notarization to consult a member of the California State Bar."

Be advised that a notary public cannot refuse service on the basis of race, religion, lifestyle, or nationality. However, should the notary be uncertain of a signer's identity, mental capacity, or suspects fraud, the notary reserves the right to refuse service.
