Notarization can feel a little daunting, especially if it’s your first time, but it doesn’t have to be! At Now Or Never Notary, I’m here to make the process simple, straightforward, and maybe even a little enjoyable. My name is Tracy Knauer, and I’m proud to help my neighbors in Ocala handle their important documents with care and professionalism. Here’s what you can do to make your notarization appointment smooth and stress-free.

Understanding Notarization

Notarization is all about authenticity and protecting everyone involved from fraud. As a notary public, my role is to be a neutral witness who verifies identities and ensures everyone is signing willingly. By taking a few steps to prepare, you can help the appointment go off without a hitch.

Gathering Necessary Documents

The first step is making sure you have all the paperwork ready to go. Here’s what you’ll need:

  1. The original document and any copies that need notarization.
  2. A valid government-issued ID, like a driver’s license or passport, so I can confirm who you are.
  3. Leave the signature spaces blank! You’ll sign in front of me during the appointment.


Getting this together ahead of time means less stress on the day of your appointment.

Understanding Document Requirements

Some documents come with special rules. For instance, certain types of paperwork may require witnesses in addition to the notary. If that’s the case, make sure you’ve got your witnesses lined up or let me know – I can provide them.

Prepare for the Day of the Appointment

On the big day, make sure you:

  1. Have your documents and ID ready to go.
  2. Arrange for any required witnesses to be present.
  3. Be available at the agreed-upon time and place (I’ll take care of the rest!).

During our appointment, I’ll carefully review your documents, verify your identity, and guide you through signing. Once everything is in order, I’ll apply my official notary seal to finalize the process.

Final Checks

Before we wrap up, we’ll double-check that:

  1. 1) All necessary signatures are in place.
  2. 2) The notary seal is applied correctly.
  3. 3) Your document is ready for its intended use.

This last step is crucial for making sure everything is legally binding and ready to go.
