My notary commission expires 1/19/2025. A certified public notary who has validated hundreds of documents during career. Bonded and insured. As a mobile notary, met with clients personally in their homes or public spaces to ensure that the entire notarization process was completed and done properly by state laws. With a high level of attention to detail, this was done by verifying the signer’s identity, witnessing the client’s signature on the document, and putting my signature and stamp on the document. All documents were checked for authenticity and to ensure that the signer was signing under their own free will. Specific documents were immediately scanned after signing to the escrow, bank, or title companies. The entire package had to be mailed the same day or the next morning.
