A current, government-issued photo ID — California driver’s license, California ID card, US passport, or military ID. The ID must be current (not expired).

No — the signature must be made in the notary’s presence. Don’t pre-sign your documents.

Yes — same-day and after-hours appointments are routinely scheduled.

California does not currently allow remote online notarization for in-state-recorded documents (as of recent law). For in-state matters, in-person is required.

Notarization of a will varies by state. Wills typically require witnesses rather than a notary; a “self-proving affidavit” attached to the will is notarized. We can notarize that affidavit. For will drafting, consult an attorney.
