Frequently asked questions

What types of business documents need notarization?

Common business documents requiring notarization include articles of incorporation, bylaws, operating agreements, partnership agreements, board resolutions, stock certificates, contracts, affidavits of incumbency, and power of attorney documents for corporate officers.

Can a notary notarize documents for my LLC or corporation?

Yes. A notary can notarize business entity documents as long as the signer personally appears, presents valid ID, and signs willingly. The notary does not verify the business's legal standing — only the identity and willingness of the individual signer.

Do all 50 states allow business document notarization?

Yes. Every state permits notarization of business documents, though specific notarial certificate wording and witness requirements vary. Some states require corporate resolutions to be notarized; others only recommend it.

Can a notary come to our office for bulk business documents?

Absolutely. Mobile notaries can visit your office to notarize multiple documents for multiple signers in a single appointment — ideal for corporate reorganizations, M&A closings, or annual board meetings.

What's the difference between notarization and corporate authentication?

Notarization verifies the signer's identity. Corporate authentication (like a certificate of good standing or apostille) verifies the company's legal status. Both are often required for foreign business registration or international contracts.
