A mobile notary is any notary who, upon request, travels from location to location to perform notarial services. While a mobile notary may perform any type of notarial service prescribed by his or her state's statutory laws, it is more common that mobile notaries are called upon to perform various types of real estate or mortgage transactions.
General Notary Work
General Notary Work (GNW) is notary work that doesn’t involve any type of real estate transactions or notarizations.
Oaths/Jurats/Affirmations
%20(Facebook%20Cover).png)
An affidavit is statement of facts which is sworn to (or affirmed) before an officer who has authority to administer an oath (e.g. a notary public). The person making the signed statement (affiant) takes an oath that the contents are, to the best of their knowledge, true. It is also signed by a notary or some other judicial officer that can administer oaths, affirming that the person signing the affidavit was under oath when doing so. These documents are valuable to presenting evidence in court when a witness is unavailable to testify in person.
Affirmation is a formal declaration of truth instead of making an oath. It is a declaration about something to be true. One who makes an affirmation or a positive declaration about something to be true is called an affirmant. For example, witnesses usually make affirmations about their testimony. If an affirmant willfully violates his affirmation, then the affirmant will be held liable for perjury.
The purpose of a jurat is for an affiant to swear to or affirm the truthfulness of the contents of an affidavit. A notary public administers an oath or affirmation to the affiant, who verifies the truths listed in the affidavit under penalty of perjury. A jurat requires the affiant reaffirm their oath by signing the document in front of the notary.
POA’s/Last Will and Testament
A power of attorney is a legal document that allows a principal to appoint an agent to act for them should they become incapacitated. The agent is expected to place the principal’s interests ahead of his or her own, which is why it is important for you and your loved one to pick a trusted individual. There are multiple types of decisions that the agent can be given the power to make, including the power to:
Make financial decisions
Make gifts of money
Make healthcare decisions, including the ability to consent to giving, withholding, or stopping medical treatments, services, or diagnostic procedures. (Note: your loved one can also make a separate “health care power of attorney” to give only this power to another individual.)

Who should use a Last Will?
A Last Will and Testament should be used by anyone over the age of 18 to help avoid potential disputes or confusion regarding your estate. A Last Will is especially important for parents with minor children as it will allow you to appoint a guardian and have a say in how your children will be raised.

I9’s/Parental Consent Forms
What Is The I-9 Form?
The I-9 form, issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), verifies the identity and employment eligibility for employees hired in the U.S. The form is to be completed by both the employee and the employer (or authorized representative). As part of the process, the employee must present documents verifying his or her eligibility to work in the U.S., and the employer (or authorized representative) must physically examine these documents.
According to the USCIS Handbook for Employers, employers “may designate someone to fill out Forms I-9 for you, such as a personnel officer, foreman, agent, or anyone else acting on your behalf, such as a notary public.”

Parental consent forms are documents which are to be used to record the consents, permissions, and authorizations that a child's parent granted in lieu of the child's participation in an event or an activity. The form is often used during school field trips and before a medical treatment or procedure.
