Booking a mobile notary is the easy part — we come to you! But knowing how to prepare for your appointment ensures everything goes smoothly and your documents get notarized correctly the first time. At On The Way Mobile Notary LLC, we want every visit to be fast, efficient, and stress-free.
Here is exactly what you need to do before your mobile notary arrives.
Have Your Valid Photo ID Ready
This is the most important step. Mississippi law requires that a notary verify your identity before notarizing any document. You will need to present one of the following:
- •A valid driver's license
- •A valid state-issued ID card
Your ID must be current and not expired. If you do not have a valid ID, a credible identifying witness who personally knows you may be able to verify your identity — just let us know in advance.
Have Your Documents Ready but Do Not Sign Them Yet
This is a very common mistake. Do not sign your documents before the notary arrives. The notary must witness your signature in person for the notarization to be valid. If you have already signed, the document may need to be reprinted.
Have your documents printed, complete, and ready — just leave the signature line blank.
Make Sure All Signers Are Present
If a document requires more than one signature, all signers must be present at the time of the appointment. Each person will need to show their valid photo ID as well.
Know What Type of Notarization You Need
Not sure what type of notarization your document requires? Here are the two most common:
If you are unsure, check the bottom of your document for a notary certificate block — it will usually indicate which type is needed. You can also contact us and we will help you figure it out.
Choose a Comfortable Location
Since we come to you, pick a location where you have a flat surface to sign — a kitchen table, desk, or conference room works great. We serve all of DeSoto County, Mississippi, including Southaven, Olive Branch, Hernando, Horn Lake, Nesbit, Walls, and Eudora.
