Frequently Asked Questions
What if my document does not contain notarial wording?
You must determine the correct notarial certificate. A notary cannot select it for you. Contact the document recipient or an attorney for guidance.
Can you notarize a document written in another language?
The signer and notary must be able to communicate directly. Some situations may require additional arrangements—contact MSS to discuss.
Does notarization make my document legal?
No. Notarization verifies identity and the act of signing; it does not make a document legal or enforceable.
