Question 3

My document requires notarization, but there is no place for a notary seal and signature. Can it still be notarized?

Accepted Answer

If you have confirmed your document needs to be notarized, we can provide a loose notarial certificate to attach to the document or stamp it with the appropriate notarial wording if there is no notarial certificate present.

PLEASE NOTE: Notaries are not permitted to select a notarial certificate for a signer. Please contact the receiver of your document to confirm what type of notarization is needed prior to your appointment. You can refer to the National Notary Association link below to read about the different types of notarial acts: https://www.nationalnotary.org/knowledge-center/about-notaries/what-is-notarization.

Question 4

Should I sign my document prior to my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Please refrain from signing your document until you meet with the notary. However, any areas on the document that are intended for the signer to complete should be filled in, but do not sign until you are in the presence of the notary. There should not be any blank spaces once the notarization is complete.

Question 5

Do you provide witnesses?

Accepted Answer

No, we do not provide witnesses. If your document requires witnesses, they must be present with signer and be disinterested parties. Please note some documents may require witnesses that are not related to the signer/principal by blood or marriage.

Question 6

What are some reasons why a notarization CANNOT be completed?

Accepted Answer

If the signer states that they do not understand the contents of the document, the notarization cannot be completed. The signer would need to consult with the receiver of the document or legal counsel.
If the signer and/or witness(es) appear to not be mentally aware or under duress, the notarization cannot be completed.
If the signer does not possess a valid ID or have a credible identifying witness with valid ID, a notarization cannot be completed. Per Oklahoma statue, a credible identifying witness must be personally known to the notary in order to be utilized.
If witnesses are necessary for the document(s) and cannot be properly identified with valid ID,  a notarization cannot be completed.
If the document presented appears to be altered, tampered or not authentic, a notarization cannot be completed.
If the person that needs to sign the document is not present or unavailable, a notarization cannot be completed.

Question 7

How does remote online notarization (RON) work?

Accepted Answer

Remote online notarization allows a person to appear before a commissioned notary public in real-time using audio/video technology. Documents are notarized with an electronic seal and stamp. Remote online notarization (RON) became effective in Oklahoma January 1, 2020 with the authorization of State Senate Bill 915. Edgemere Notary Service is partnered with Notarize/Proof to process remote notarizations.

This can be done on our website booking page, however, if this step is missed, please email document to notary@edgemerenotaryservice.com.  Any blanks on the document should be filled in by the signer EXCEPT for the signature and date. For security reasons, documents emailed directly to us are deleted after notarization is complete. 
After the document has been reviewed, an invitation email will sent for the scheduled Notarize/Proof session. Instructions will be included on how to get started. After completing the session, you will be prompted to download your notarized document and will also receive it by email.
Signer requirements:  a) internet connection b) valid U.S government-issued ID or passport* (military ID & inmate ID not accepted) c) access to a smartphone or computer with audio/camera capabilities. Some documents may require 2 forms of identification.
