As a notary public, the most common question we get asked is "what do I need to bring to my notary appointment?" Besides the document that you need notarized, you must bring your identification. Non expired identification in the form of a Drivers License, Passport, or other State issued ID containing a picture is required for any and all signers of the document. Witnesses are also required to have proper identification in order to legally witness the notarization and signing.

Notarization is a very fast process.. As long as the document to be notarized is already printed and no corrections need to be made, an appointment with our notary publics should take no longer than 10 minutes at the most. In the event that the document needs to be printed, Miami Beach Notary 305 also provides printing and scanning services.

The answer is YES. Any documents from out of State that require a notary public, can be notarized as long as the signer is present. Location of where a document is notarized is not important. It only matters that the designated signer is present in front of the notary public whether live or on video. The Notary Acknowledgment section of the document will usually have the State already typed in which can be replaced with the new State of notarization.

The signer must always be present in order for a notary to legally sign and seal the document. Whether in the physical presence or by way of live video, the designated signer is required to authorize his/her signature. Even if the document requiring notarization has already been signed by the designated signer before it is presented to the notary, the document will need to be signed again in front of the notary public to make it legally binding.

Parking in Miami Beach is tough, and the parking laws are even tougher. Tow trucks work all night and so do we. If the car you are using is registered to someone else and it gets towed, you will need notarized authorization from the registered owner of the vehicle in order to have it released from the impound. Miami Beach Notary 305 is here to help at the latest hours to make sure you don't accumulate any more charges from the tow company. The longer your car sits in the impound, the longer it will cost you to get it out.
