​Notary Public Procedures & Fees

​Oregon and Washington laws state that I can only charge you $10 per document that may require my commission except the transportation fees.  I am not going to charge you for such transportation fees.

The procedures of obtaining notary public services outlined below.  Be sure to bring in your items required prior to notarizing document(s).

1. Every signer is required to personally appear.  If signer(s) wish to fax or email documents, then I cannot offer my notary services.  Every signer has to be in my presence – face to face in the same room.
2. Identification.  Please bring in your reliable indentification documents such as ID state issued cards.  Such examples of issued identification cards: Driver License or ID card from any state, or Driver Instructional Permit, Provisional, or Limited Term Driver License; Non-expired, Temporary Driver License or ID card; U.S. or Foreign (recognized) passport; U.S. Military ID cards; ID from a federally recognized Indian tribe; or U.S. government issued ID (any) with both picture and signature.​ I can also either have personal knowledge or the oath of a credible identifying witness that you bring in.
3. Signer(s) understand the document(s). I am required to “feel” that you are completely understood of what you are signing; however, I cannot provide such advices on whether you should sign or not.  If you do not understand what document(s) is for, then I cannot notarize.  However, I can ask some questions about the purposes of signing document(s).  If you can answer, then I can still offer my notary public services. If you need my notary public services in the medical environment (i.e., hospitals), then I can consult with your doctor and see if you are completely understood of what you are going to sign.  However, if I still get a “feeling” that you are not capable to understand then I will not offer my notary public services.  In the other words, if you do not understand or have some questions about such document(s) that you are going to sign, then please consult with an attorney prior to needing my notary public services.  I can make a referral if you need to consult with an attorney when necessary.
4. Your Signature. I will check and make sure you sign the same name appearing on the identification presented.
5. Blank Spaces. If documents require some blank spaces, then I am going to ask you to line through each space (using ink) or to write in “not applicable” or “N/A.”
6. Scan the Document.  I will count pages of documents presented and check its titles of documents.  These information are required for me to document in my journal of notarial acts only.  Be assured that any document I notarize is secured and confidential.
7. Document’s Date. Please be aware that when you sign documents, be sure that the dates are the same days that you are going to seek my notary public services.  Sometimes, parties would like you to sign on specific dates in accordance to printed dates on documents.  If that when happens, then I will check on whether dates are preceded or not.  If so, then I can issue my commission.
8. Document your Address. I am required to write your address which is printed on your issued ID card in my journal of notarial acts.
9. Document has Notarial Wording.  If documents are not notarial certificates, then I am required to ask types of notarial certificates you are seeking.  So, I can offer you the right format of a notarial stamp to complete signing procedures.
10. Complete Signing Procedures. I will ensure that our signatures and notarized documents are properly completed prior to departing.
11. Make Payments. Please be prepared to make payment of $10 per notarized documents, either in cash or personal check.
