Disclaimer

The commissioned notaries at RC’s Finest Resource Group are not attorneys licensed to practice law and may not give legal advice. We recommend that you speak with an attorney for any legal guidance before scheduling an appointment. 

To ensure that your documents are notarized correctly, please note the following information as you prepare for your appointment:

 1. Identify which Notary Certificate you need. Our notaries cannot provide legal advice or assistance in the drafting and/or completion of your documents. If you have any questions about how to complete the document, please contact the person who drated or requested the document.

2. Do not sign the document until you are in the presence of the notary.

3. Original documents must be presented for all Copy Certifications. Vital records such as birth, death, and marraige certificates can not be notarized.

4. Your identity is verified and willingness to sign the document of your own volition.

5. All signers and witnesses, if required, are prepared with an unexpired government-issued form of identification at the time of the scheduled appointment.

6. Every signer must physically appear, be coherent, and present an unexpired government-issued form of identification at the time of notarization.  

  • Identification

    All identification cards must be original, current or issued within the last 5 years, contain a photo, physical description, signature, and serial number. Identification procedures are mandated by the Georgia Secretary of State. The following forms of identification are acceptable:

    • Unexpired government-issued photo ID (Driver's License / State ID/U.S. Passport)

    • U.S. Military Identification Card

    • Foreign Passports Stamped by U.S. Customs

    The name you will be signing on the document must match or be "SHORTER THAN" the name on your ID. An ID in your maiden name along with a marriage license evidencing your married name is not acceptable. (see below how to use Credible Witnesses).

    Correct ID: Document Signature = John Smith (SHORTER THAN) ID = John Adam Smith

    If you are not able to provide the above-mentioned identification or the name on your ID is different or shorter than what is on the document then you can use:

    Two Credible Witnesses – These are individuals that can swear to the signer's identity. They must have and present proper ID at the time of the notarization, are age 18 or older, know the signer by the name on the document, are not named in the document nor have a financial interest in the transaction described in the document.
