A Guide for Document Signers
Life can be unpredictable, and sometimes important legal matters arise while you or a loved one is hospitalized. Whether it’s an urgent power of attorney, healthcare directive, or another critical document, getting these papers notarized promptly and correctly is essential. Signature Line Notary Services is here to help, offering both in-person and online notarization options to accommodate your needs.
In-Person Notarization in a Hospital- How It Works
If you are in the Tampa Bay area, Signature Line Notary Services can send a professional notary to your location when you need a document notarized in a hospital (includes nursing homes & assisted living facilities). Our notaries are experienced in handling sensitive situations and can ensure that your documents are notarized efficiently and correctly.
Identification Requirements
To notarize a document, the signer must present valid identification. Acceptable forms of ID in Florida include:
State-issued driver’s license or ID card
U.S. passport or passport card
U.S. military ID
Foreign passport (if stamped by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service)
The ID must be current or, in some cases, issued within the last five years. It’s crucial to have the ID ready for the notary to verify your identity. Your notary will discuss this when setting your appointment.
Steps for In-Person Notarization
Contact Signature Line Notary Services: Schedule an appointment by calling or visiting our website.
Prepare Your Documents: Ensure all documents are complete and ready for notarization. DO NOT SIGN your documents until you are in the presence of your notary.
Meet the Notary: Our notary will come to the hospital, verify your identity, witness the signing, and affix the notary seal.
Online Notarization: A Convenient Alternative
For those who cannot meet in person or prefer a digital solution, Signature Line Notary Services also offers online notarization. This method is not only convenient but also legally recognized in many states.
How Online Notarization Works
Upload Your Documents: Visit our website and upload the documents you need notarized.
Verify Your Identity: You will need to verify your identity through a secure online process, which includes answering knowledge-based authentication questions, presenting your ID, or using a process that utilizes biometrics.
Meet the Notary Online: Schedule a virtual meeting with one of our certified notaries. During the session, the notary will witness the signing of your documents via video conferencing.
Receive Your Notarized Documents: After the online session, you will receive your notarized documents electronically, typically within minutes.
Benefits of Online Notarization
