Question 2

ONLINE BOOKING: Can I book you online?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! My calendar is available via Calendly and a link is provided on the home page of this website.

Question 3

FOREIGN LANGUAGE: Can I get my signature notarized for a document that is written in a language other than English?

Accepted Answer

Yes! My job is to verify signatures and identities, and sometimes administer an oath while doing so. Notarizations, by definition, require a notarial certificate. If a certificate is not present or is not in English or otherwise compliant, I can provide one that is. I also have Certificate Stamps to use in situations requiring it.

Question 4

I-9 FORMS: Can you do I-9 validations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I can do those. I do them for many of the major employers in the area.

Question 5

WEDDINGS: Do you officiate Weddings?

Accepted Answer

While I have the proper certifications to do this, I do not do them as of yet. That might come soon. Wedding ceremonies are performed under separate officiant authority. An Oregon or Washington notary commission does not authorize someone to solemnize marriages.

Question 6

AFFILIATIONS: Are you a member of the National Notary Association?

Accepted Answer

Yes, proudly.

Question 7

WITNESSES: Do You Provide Witnesses? Do you Charge for Notarizing Witnesses?

Accepted Answer

You should normally arrange for any witnesses required for your documents.If you cannot provide them, I may be able to arrange for local notaries to attend the appointment as witnesses. The charge is $50 for each witness, which is passed along to that person.If you provide your own witnesses and the documents require their signatures to be notarized or require them to take an oath, the regular notarial fee applies. In Oregon, that fee is $10 per witness per appointment—not per document. If the same witnesses sign multiple documents during the appointment, there is no additional witness notarization charge.

Question 8

COVID AND HEALTH PRECAUTIONS

Accepted Answer

Your health and safety are important. I follow the health and safety requirements of hospitals, care facilities, and other appointment locations. I am also happy to wear a mask upon request.If you or anyone attending the appointment has a contagious illness or significant symptoms, please let me know in advance. We can discuss reasonable precautions or reschedule the appointment when appropriate.

Question 9

REMOTE APPOINTMENTS: Remote Online Notarization

Accepted Answer

Remote Online Notarization
As of August 1, 2020, Oregon legalized Remote Online Notarizations (RON). These are done over The Internet using the SignIX platform. These require some notice and scheduling. There is preparation time that goes into these appointments. 
NOTE: Oregon State Law excludes Last Wills from Remote Notarization, largely because of the witness requirements.
Rates are as follows:
$ 25.00 - Per Each Notarized Signature
$ 250.00 - Minimum cost for signing a loan Package. 
The Final result will be a return PDF with all the proper signatures, notarizations, and embedded certificates.
It must be further noted that many organizations and jurisdictions do not accept documents notarized remotely. They are not included in our No-Fault warranty.

Question 10

REMOTE NOTARIZATION AND APOSTILLES

Accepted Answer

In Oregon and Washington, an apostille cannot be obtained directly for a document that was notarized only through Remote Online Notarization (RON). An additional certificate bearing the original notary’s wet signature and ink stamp is required. That certificate can be completed only by the notary who performed the original remote notarization.Therefore, I can facilitate an apostille for a remotely notarized document only when I performed the original RON. I will not accept or facilitate apostille requests involving remote notarizations performed by another notary.
