During a notarization, we will verify your identity, confirm your understanding of the document, and witness your signature. We will then complete the notarial certificate and apply our official stamp.

We are not attorneys, and therefore, by law, we cannot explain or interpret the contents of any document for you, instruct you on how to complete a document, or direct you on the advisability of signing a particular document.

By doing so, we would be engaging in the unauthorized practice of law and could face legal penalties that include the possibility of incarceration. Any important questions about your document should be addressed to the receiving party, or an attorney, lender, or title company.

No, notaries cannot certify copies of vital records such as birth certificates, death certificates, or marriage licenses. These documents must be obtained from the issuing government agency.

A notary can notarize the signature on a power of attorney document, but they cannot "certify" it to be as effective as the original. The effectiveness of a power of attorney depends on its proper execution and legal validity. (Probate Code section 4307) Source: Secretary of State of California
