Did You Know a Notary Can Handle This? Surprising Everyday Documents

Most people think of a notary only for big moments — buying a house, signing a will. But a notary handles a long list of smaller, everyday documents too, and many of them can be done remotely in a few minutes. Here are some people are often surprised by.

Everyday documents that often need a notary

• Authorization to pick up a vehicle, package, or document on someone’s behalf
• Parental consent for a minor’s travel, medical care, or activities
• Letters confirming residence, identity, or relationship
• Statements for an insurance claim or a lost document
• Affidavits of single status, support, or identity for use here or abroad

What the notary is doing

In each case the notary verifies who is signing and witnesses the signature — sometimes administering an oath that a statement is true. The notary doesn’t write the document or vouch for the facts in it; that’s on the signer.

The convenience of remote

Because these needs are often urgent and one-off — a deadline tomorrow, a relative overseas — remote online notarization fits perfectly: book a slot, sign on video, get the sealed document back the same day. If you’re not sure whether your document can be notarized, message me before booking and I’ll let you know, in English or Chinese.

This article is general educational information about the notarization process, not legal advice. A notary public verifies identity and witnesses signatures and is not a substitute for an attorney. Remote online notarization is regulated state by state; please confirm the current requirements for your specific situation and the destination where your document will be used. I perform remote online notarizations only in the state(s) where I am commissioned and authorized (Nevada and Montana).
