Easy, Convenient Notary Public Services from Altura Credit Union

What is a Notary Public?

A notary is an impartial witness that has been licensed by the state government. They verify that the person signing a legal document is who they say they are. They protect against fraud. A notary also makes sure that everyone signing a document is doing so willingly.

If you have a lot of important documents to sign, you must sign in the presence of a notary. Some of the documents that require notarization include:

  • Property deeds
  • Wills
  • Powers of attorney
  • Mortgage
  • Affidavits
  • Copies of diplomas, driver’s licenses, leases, Social Security cards, and medical records

 

Find a Notary Public You Trust with Ease

You can feel comfortable stopping by one of our locations to have your paperwork notarized. Whether you have just one document to notarize, or you have an entire stack, Altura Credit Union is up for the challenge!

FAQs

What Kind of Identification is Acceptable to Show a Notary Public?

What Kind of Identification is Acceptable to Show a Notary Public?

The notary public will need to see a current form of identification in order to notarize your documents. There are a few types of ID that are acceptable:

  • State driver’s license
  • State-issued ID card
  • United States military ID card
  • United States passport
  • Resident alien ID card

These are acceptable forms of identification no matter what state you’re in. There are other kinds of identification that your notary will NOT accept, including:

  • Social Security card
  • Birth certificate
  • School ID

Can I Get Something Notarized After It Has Been Signed?

No, you cannot get anything notarized after it has already been signed. The notary public must be able to see the signer in person and verify his or her identification. If they don’t witness the signing process, there is no way the notary can verify that the signature is authentic.

How Long Does the Notarization Process Take?

This depends on how many documents you need to have notarized. Usually, the process doesn’t take very long. You can expect to be in and out of a branch in just a few minutes. To finish in the least amount of time, call Altura ahead of time to make an appointment.
