✅ Here's what we can notarize...
* While not legally considered notarizations, non-notarial services are sometimes requested because notaries are viewed as trusted members of society who may, at times, sign and/or witness the signing of documents.
🚫 And here's what we cannot notarize...
Some documents can't be notarized under New York State law, or may fall outside the role of a notary public.
Here are a few examples of things we cannot notarize:
Documents that are incomplete, blank, or missing required signatures
Vital records like birth, death, or marriage certificates (only the issuing agency can provide those)
Documents without notarial language (unless you request that we attach a standard certificate)
Anything that appears fraudulent, misleading, or unclear
In addition to not being able to notarize some things, we also:
Cannot accept photocopies, screenshots, or digital images of IDs—you must provide an original, valid ID
Do not provide legal advice, document interpretation, or form completion — notaries aren’t lawyers (but we’ll let you know if we think you should consult one).
💬 Not sure if your document qualifies? Text us a photo at (917)-740-9471—we’ll take a quick look and let you know!
