A little preparation can help your notarization appointment go smoothly and ensure your documents are completed correctly. Follow these simple steps before your scheduled appointment with A1 Notary Solutions.
1. Schedule Your Appointment
Book your appointment by choosing a date, time, and location that works best for you. As a mobile notary, we come directly to your home, office, hospital, nursing facility, or another convenient location throughout the Denver Metro area.
2. Prepare Your Documents
Gather all documents that need to be notarized before your appointment. If you need copies, make them in advance. Do not sign any documents until instructed by the notary, as most documents must be signed in the notary’s presence.
3. Read Your Documents Carefully
Review your paperwork before the appointment to ensure everything is complete. Check for any instructions regarding:
Required ink color (blue or black ink is commonly requested)
Required witnesses
Any missing information or blank spaces
If witnesses are required, be sure they are present at the appointment unless you’ve made other arrangements.
4. Have a Pen Ready
Keep a blue or black ink pen available unless your documents specify a different color which is almost never. Using the correct ink helps prevent delays and ensures your documents meet the receiving organization’s requirements.
5. Ensure All Signers Are Present
Every person whose signature requires notarization must be physically present during the appointment. Colorado notaries cannot notarize a signature for someone who is absent.
6. Bring Valid Identification
Each signer must present a valid, government-issued photo ID, such as:
Driver’s License
State Identification Card
U.S. Passport
Military Identification (when accepted)
The name on your ID should closely match the name on your documents.
7. Verify Your Notary’s Credentials
Upon arrival, your A1 Notary will present their official notary identification and verify the identity of each signer before completing the notarization.
8. Allow Enough Time
Most notary appointments take 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of documents, the number of signers, and whether witnesses are required.
