🖊️ 5 Documents You May Need Notarized

Hi Notary Family,

Notarization isn’t just for big business deals or legal matters — it’s something many people need in everyday life. Whether you're buying a home, handling family affairs, or starting a new job, having a notary public by your side helps protect your identity, confirm your intent, and make your documents legally valid. 📄✨ But what types of documents actually require a notary? Let’s break down five of the most common ones you may come across.

🔐 1. Power of Attorney

A Power of Attorney (POA) gives someone else the legal right to act on your behalf in financial, medical, or legal matters. Because of the authority it grants, this document must be notarized to ensure it's valid and not signed under pressure or fraud.
➡️ Common POAs include:

  • Durable Power of Attorney

  • Medical Power of Attorney

  • Financial Power of Attorney

🏡 2. Real Estate & Loan Documents

Buying or selling a home involves a lot of paperwork — and most of it needs notarization. From loan applications to deeds of trust, a notary ensures everything is signed correctly and lawfully.
➡️ You may need a notary for:

  • Mortgage loan documents

  • Quitclaim deeds

  • Property transfer forms

💼 3. Business Agreements & Contracts

Whenever two or more people enter a business deal, notarizing the agreement helps make it official and prevents disputes later. It also adds a layer of legal protection for all parties involved.
➡️ Businesses often notarize:

  • Partnership agreements

  • Independent contractor contracts

  • Vendor and service agreements

📚 Other Documents That Often Need a Notary:

  • 📝 Wills & Living Trusts (depends on your state)

  • 📋 Affidavits and sworn statements

  • 📘 School documents like permission slips or enrollment forms

  • 🛂 Immigration paperwork (must follow USCIS rules)

  • 🍼 Parental consent letters for minors traveling
