There are a few things that are critical for making your NY notary signing and/or NY apostille processing go smoothly:

FOR NOTARIZATIONS

1) The signer must be present when being notarized.

2) The signer must have ID that covers the names shown on the document.

3) You must have the document that is being notarized. A NY Notary is not permitted to draft documents or provide legal documents. We can however print the document for you that you email to us (see Pricing and Payment section)

FOR APOSTILLES

1) We need to make sure you have the right type of document. For example, for a birth certificate or death certificate to receive an apostille, it must be a long-form birth certificate and you must have a Letter of Exemplification from the NYC Department of Health or Vitalchek.com.
