Broadly speaking, notarization is the authentication of a document as
genuine or the verification that a statement was made under oath. The
person who makes this authentication or verification is a public official,
the Notary Public. Notarization provides assurance that the particular
document is authentic and intended to be in force.

There are certain results that no Notary act ever accomplishes:

• Notarization does not guarantee the truth or accuracy of statements in
  a document. The Notary Public has no obligation to verify a document’s
  contents.
• Notarization does not legalize or validate a document. A will or other
  legal paper that contains invalidating flaws before notarization will
  contain the same flaws afterward.

-Excerpt from National Notary Association

A signing agent is a public notary who is an expert in loan closing documents. A lender, title company, or escrow service may hire a signing agent to handle getting documents delivered, signed, or processed efficiently and on time.

Yes, although we are often able to accommodate walk in clients, it is preferable to book an appointment in advance to ensure a Notary will be available to see you. This ensures we have all necessary documents in advance and that the appointment is as brief as possible for you.

One of the Notary’s fundamental duties is to properly identify his or her client. This requirement is laid down by our practice rules and legislation.

This will depend on the document being certified and exactly what the notary is required to do. Our notaries will be happy to discuss this with you prior to your appointment (please note it will often be necessary to see the document in advance in order to provide an accurate fee estimate).

We will come to you at a place that is convenient for you. This can be your home or office, a restaurant, or even a nursing home, hospital, or federal, state or county correctional facility. If you prefer to come to our Baton Rouge, LA office during business hours, this can also of course be arranged. Geaux Mobile Notary specializes in providing prompt and convenient notary services when you need it.

To put it simply a Notary Public’s main purpose is to deter fraud. As an impartial witness, the Notary ensures that the signers of documents are who they say they are and not impostors. The Notary also makes sure that signers have entered into agreements knowingly and willingly.
