Common questions
Real estate notary FAQ.
Can you explain my loan documents?
We are not attorneys or loan officers and cannot give legal or financial advice. We can point out where to sign and notarize your signature, but any questions about terms, rates, or legal effect should be answered by your lender, escrow officer, or attorney.
Do I need witnesses for my real estate documents?
Most California real estate documents do not require witnesses beyond the notary. Some out-of-state or lender-specific documents may request witnesses; let us know ahead of time if your documents mention witnesses so we can plan accordingly.
Can you notarize documents for out-of-state properties?
Yes. As long as the notarization itself follows California notary law and is performed in California, the documents can relate to property in another state. Your escrow or attorney can confirm any state-specific formatting they require.
What ID do I need for a real estate notarization?
California law requires a valid, current government-issued photo ID such as a California driver license, state ID card, U.S. passport, or foreign passport. Expired IDs are not accepted. A thumbprint is also required in the notary journal for documents affecting real property.
Can you handle last-minute real estate signings?
Often, yes. Real estate timelines can change quickly. Call or text with your deadline, and we will let you know the soonest available time for a signing.
Do you work directly with escrow companies?
Yes. We frequently coordinate directly with escrow officers, who send documents to us or to you ahead of time. This helps make the signing smoother and ensures everything needed is ready at the appointment.
What if a signer is out of town or unavailable?
If one party cannot be present, a power of attorney may allow another person to sign on their behalf. Check with your escrow officer or attorney first — we can notarize the POA as a separate appointment if needed.
Do real estate documents require a thumbprint?
Yes. California Civil Code §1189 requires a notary to obtain a thumbprint in their journal for any document affecting real property, including deeds, deeds of trust, and quitclaim deeds.
