FAQs
A notary public is a state-appointed official who serves as an impartial witness to the signing of important documents. Notaries verify the identity of signers, ensure they're signing willingly, and in some cases, administer oaths or affirmations.
In Texas, notaries are commissioned by the Secretary of State and must follow specific laws and regulations governing notarial acts. The primary role of a notary is to help deter fraud by verifying the identity of document signers and ensuring they understand what they're signing.
Notaries are authorized to perform several official acts, including:
Taking acknowledgments
Administering oaths and affirmations
Taking depositions
Certifying copies of certain documents
Protesting instruments permitted by law
Yes, there are certain documents and situations where notaries cannot provide notarization due to legal restrictions or ethical considerations:
Absent Signers: Documents where the signer is not physically present at the time of notarization.
Insufficient Identification: Documents where the signer does not have valid, acceptable identification as required by Texas law.
Incomplete Documents: Documents with blank spaces that should be filled in before notarization.
Duress or Coercion: Documents where the signer appears to be under duress, coercion, or does not appear to be signing willingly.
Lack of Awareness: Documents where the signer does not appear to understand what they're signing or appears to be mentally incapacitated.
Conflict of Interest: Documents where the notary is named as a party or will benefit financially (beyond the notary fee).
Vital Records: Birth certificates, death certificates, or marriage certificates issued by government agencies cannot be notarized (though copies may be handled differently).
Foreign Language Documents: Documents in a language the notary doesn't understand, unless accompanied by a certified translation or the notary is fluent in that language.
As notaries public in Texas, we are bound by specific legal limitations:
Cannot provide legal advice
We cannot explain legal documents, advise on their content, recommend whether you should sign them, or interpret legal terminology. Only licensed attorneys can provide legal advice.
Cannot prepare legal documents
We cannot draft wills, contracts, deeds, or other legal documents. We can only notarize documents that have already been prepared.
Cannot advise on document types
We cannot advise you on which type of document you need for your situation or which type of notarization is appropriate. This determination should be made by the document recipient or an attorney.
Cannot certify copies of most documents
With limited exceptions (such as powers of attorney in certain circumstances), Texas notaries cannot certify copies of documents. We can, however, notarize a statement from the document custodian attesting that a copy is true and correct.
Cannot notarize in certain situations
When the signer is not physically present
When the document contains blank spaces that should be filled in
When the signer appears to be under duress or lacks capacity
When the notary has a direct financial or beneficial interest in the
transaction
When the signer cannot be properly identified
These limitations are established by Texas Government Code Chapter 406 and are designed to maintain the impartiality and integrity of the notarial process. Our role is strictly limited to verifying identity, witnessing signatures, and performing notarial acts as authorized by Texas law.
Important: For legal advice or document preparation, we recommend
consulting with an attorney.

As a notary service, Lady Notary and its notaries:
Cannot provide legal advice or explain the contents or effects of documents
Cannot prepare legal documents or fill in forms beyond adding notarial wording
Cannot advise which type of notarization is needed for your document
Cannot represent you in legal proceedings

Our role is strictly limited to verifying identity, witnessing signatures, and performing notarial acts as authorized by Texas law. We maintain impartiality in all transactions and cannot act as an advocate for any party.
For questions about your documents or legal matters, please consult with an attorney.
Important Note: While we cannot provide legal advice, we can answer questions about the notarization process itself. Feel free to ask us about notary procedures and requirements.
No. Notaries public, including certified loan signing agents, are strictly prohibited from providing legal advice or assisting in the preparation of legal documents unless they are also a licensed attorney.
Our role is to:
Verify the identity of the signer(s).
Ensure the signer(s) appear willing and aware.
Administer oaths or affirmations when required.
Complete the notarial certificate accurately.
Record the transaction in the notary journal.
We cannot explain the legal meaning or consequences of the documents you are signing, advise you on which document form to use, or help you fill out sections of the document beyond the notary certificate itself.
If you have questions about the content of your document or need legal advice, please consult with a qualified attorney or the person/entity who drafted the document before scheduling your notary appointment.

Experience seamless notarization with Lady Notary’s Mobile or Remote Online Notary services. We understand your need for convenience, safety, and comfort. We are dedicated to providing reliable mobile service at your preferred public location during business hours. Safety and privacy are paramount for both you and our notary. That's why we carefully select meeting spots like welcoming coffee houses, secure office environments, professional hotel lobbies, dedicated business centers, or private library meeting rooms, ensuring a well-lit space with comfortable seating and tables. Our Remote Online Notary (RON) Service is the most convenient and immediate service. Trust us to handle your everyday documents with meticulous care, always with mutual well-being in mind.
A Mobile or RON notary service is especially valuable when:
You have mobility issues or health concerns that make travel difficult
You're dealing with time-sensitive documents that need immediate attention
You need notarization outside normal business hours when traditional notary offices are closed
You have multiple signers at different locations who need to sign the same documents
You're in a hospital, nursing home, detention facility, or other location with limited access
You have a busy schedule and can't afford to take time off work to visit a notary office
You need a notary for a large signing event with multiple documents and signers
Pro Tip: Mobile and Remote notaries are especially valuable for real estate transactions, where multiple documents need to be signed and notarized in a specific order. Our loan signing specialists can guide you through the entire process at your location.
During a typical mobile notary appointment:
Arrival: Our notary will arrive at your specified location at the scheduled time, dressed professionally and carrying all necessary equipment (notary seal, journal, pens, etc.).
Identity Verification: The notary will verify the identity of all signers using government-issued photo ID (driver's license, passport, non-driving identification card, etc.). This step is required by Texas law and cannot be skipped.
Document Review: The notary will briefly review the documents to determine what type of notarization is needed and ensure all documents are complete (no blank spaces that should be filled in).
Signer Awareness Check: The notary will ensure all signers understand the document(s) and are signing willingly, without coercion. The notary cannot explain legal terms but can ensure signers are aware of what they're signing.
Document Signing: The signers will sign the document(s) in the presence of the notary.
Notarial Certificate: The notary will complete the notarial certificate (acknowledgment, jurat, etc.) and apply their official seal.
Journal Entry: The notary will record the transaction in their notary journal, which require a signature, address, and may require signers to provide a thumbprint (for certain documents),
Payment: Payment is collected before the appointment.
The entire process typically takes 15-30 minutes for standard notarizations, or 60-90 minutes for loan signings with multiple documents.
Preparation Tip: Have all signers present with a government valid ID and have your documents ready but unsigned. This will help ensure a smooth and efficient appointment.
Some documents, like certain wills or real estate documents, may require one or more witnesses in addition to the notary. Witnesses must be impartial, over 18, and not named in the document or benefiting from it.
Generally, signers are responsible for providing their own witnesses. However, if you are unable to arrange for witnesses, please let us know when booking your appointment. We may can provide witnesses for an additional fee, subject to availability. Advance notice (at least 24-48 hours) is required for witness requests.
Please Note: The notary public cannot act as a witness for the same document they are notarizing.
To ensure a smooth appointment, please have the following ready:
The Complete Document(s): Ensure you have the entire, original document(s) needing notarization. Please review them for completeness (except signatures and notary sections) beforehand.
All Signers Must Be Present: Every person who needs to sign the document must be physically present at the appointment time.
Valid Government-Issued Photo ID: For every notarization, signers are required to provide a valid, unexpired photo ID with a matching signature and physical description, issued by either state or federal government. Please bring 2 forms of identification, in case additional verification is needed. See our "ID Requirements" FAQ for details.
Witnesses (If required): If your document requires witnesses, ensure they are present with their own valid IDs. (See our "Witnesses" FAQ).
Payment Method: We accept a variety of payment methods. Please confirm your preferred payment option when you book your appointment
*Having everything prepared helps make the notarization process quick
and efficient.
Yes. Lady Notary's Remote Online Notarization (RON) package offers convenience and immediate services. RON pricing is fully compliant with Texas Government Code §406.111 and §406.024. This ensures every remote notarization adheres to the state's legal standards for both the service itself and the fees charged. Our RON services utilize secure audio and video technology, robust identity verification, and electronic seal application to provide a convenient and legally sound notarization experience from anywhere.
Texas Law Compliant RON Pricing
Standard Acknowledgment: $35 ($25 RON fee + $10 first signature)
Additional Signers: $1 each
Oath, Affirmation: $35 ($25 RON fee + $10 oath fee)
Texas law requires notaries to verify the identity of signers using specific forms of identification. The ID must be current (unexpired) and issued by the federal government or a state government. It must contain the signer's photograph, signature, and physical description.
Acceptable forms of primary identification include:
Texas Driver's License or State ID Card
U.S. Driver's License or State ID Card from another state
U.S. Passport or Passport Card
U.S. Military ID Card
Foreign Passport stamped by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
Inmate ID Card issued by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) or federal detention facility (if signer is incarcerated)
Please present your original, unexpired identification (photocopies are not accepted) card. Please bring 2 forms of identification. It is essential that the name appearing on your ID exactly matches the name on the document to be notarized.
What if a signer doesn't have an acceptable ID?
If a signer lacks acceptable ID, Texas law allows for identification through **Credible Witnesses**. A credible witness must personally know the signer, be personally known by the notary, and present their own valid ID to the notary. The witness must not have any interest in the document or personally gain from the transaction. The witness must swear or affirm the signer's identity and sign the notary journal. Please contact us in advance if you believe a credible witness will be needed, as specific requirements apply.
Note: To ensure a seamless and efficient notarization, all signers must provide valid, unexpired government-issued identification. Unfortunately, expired IDs cannot be accepted, so a quick check before your appointment can save valuable time.
These are different types of notarial acts, each serving a specific purpose:
Acknowledgment
An acknowledgment is a formal declaration by a signer that they have signed a document voluntarily and for the purposes stated in the document. The signer must personally appear before the notary for the notarization.
Common uses: Deeds, mortgages, powers of attorney
Jurat (Verification Upon Oath or Affirmation)
A jurat requires the signer to sign the document in the notary's presence and take an oath or affirmation that the contents of the document are true. The notary certifies that the signer appeared before them, was sworn in, and signed the document.
Common uses: Affidavits, depositions, sworn statements
Oath or Affirmation
An oath is a solemn pledge to a higher power, while an affirmation is a solemn pledge on one's personal honor. Both are verbal ceremonies where the person swears or affirms that the statements they are making are true. This may be performed independently or as part of a jurat.
Common uses: Sworn testimony, oaths of office
The type of notarization required is usually specified in the document itself or determined by the purpose of the document. If you're unsure which type you need, the document recipient or issuing authority can provide guidance.
Please ensure your document is fully completed *except* for the signature and any notary-specific sections.
Do Fill In: All personal information, dates (unless the date needs to be the date of signing), specific details required by the document.
Do Not Fill In or Sign:
The signature line(s). Signatures must typically be done in the notary's presence.
The Notarial Certificate (often labeled 'Acknowledgment' or 'Jurat') is for the notary's exclusive use.
To make your appointment as efficient as possible, please have your document ready before the notary arrives, with the exception of the signature itself. If you have any questions about how to fill out the document, please consult the document issuer or an attorney. As a notary, Lady Notary cannot provide legal advice or assist in preparing your documents.
*Signatures are required in the notary's presence. Please wait to sign your document until your appointment, unless you've been specifically advised that prior signing is permissible for your type of notarial act.
We can notarize a wide variety of documents, including but not limited to:
Personal Documents
Powers of Attorney
Wills and living wills
Medical directives
Consent for minor travel
Pension documents
Name change documents
Other Common Documents
Affidavits
Vehicle title transfers
School and education forms
Adoption papers
International documents
Employment verifications
Business Documents
Business agreements
Corporate bylaws
Partnership agreements
Commercial leases
Business certifications
If you're unsure whether your document requires notarization, please contact the issuer or recipient to provide guidance on notarization requirements.
Pro Tip Check your document for a notary section, which typically includes language like "subscribed and sworn to before me" or "acknowledged before me" and has a designated space for a notary seal and signature.
