Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: Can you give me legal advice?

8-16-401. Notice that notary public is not an attorney.

“I AM NOT AN ATTORNEY LICENSED TO PRACTICE LAW IN THE STATE OF TENNESSEE, AND I MAY NOT GIVE LEGAL ADVICE OR ACCEPT FEES FOR LEGAL ADVICE.”

Question 2: What type of Identification do I need to have?

Acceptable Identification Documents MUST be Physically in your possession:

* Valid (NON Expired) Drivers License or Identification card issued by a U.S. state

*A passport issued by a foreign government, stamped by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigrations Services (USCIS)

*An identification card issued by any branch of the Armed Forces of the United States.

*Names Must matched the names(s) on the document being notarized.

Any identification above is acceptable as long as it

1) is current or issued within the past 5 years

2) contains a photo and physical description of the person named

3) bears a signature of the person

4) bears a serial or other identifying number

5) in the event that it is a foreign passport, is stamped by the USCIS (TCA 66-22-106[c])

Question 3: What if I am unable to sign due to physical disability?

Mark Serves as Signature - A person who cannot sign his/her name because of illiteracy or physical disability may instead use a mark --an "X" for example -- as a signature.

Witnesses for a signature by Mark to be notarized, the National Notary Association recommends that there be two (2) witnesses to the making of the mark in addition to the Notary

If you do not have a two (2) witness, we can provide one or both for an additional fee.

Question 4: Can I have a copy notarized?

A photocopy or Fax may be notarized as long as the signature on it is Original, meaning that the photocopy or Fax must have been signed with pen and ink. Signatures on documents presented for notarization must always be signed with a handwritten, original signature.

Be aware; Public recorders sometimes will not accept notarized photocopies or faxes, because the text of the document may be too faint to adequately reproduce in microfilming.

Do you have Errors and Omissions Insurance and are you Bonded?

Yes, I have both E &O and I'm Bonded

Are you a Member of the National Notary Association and did you have a background check?

Yes, I am and I have a clear background check

Can a Tennessee notary, notarize in another state?

Not unless we are commissioned in that state however, if you have a document from another state as long as the notarial act occurs in the sate in which they were commissioned. Meaning if someone from Kentucky or Arkansas is visiting Tennessee, I can notarize it here during your visit.
