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.

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.

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

Yes, I am and I have a clear background check

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.
