General Questions
As defined in the notary statutes, a notarial act is any act that a notary public of this state is authorized to perform, including taking an acknowledgement, admininstering an oath or affirmation, executing a jurat or taking a verification upon oath or affirmation, witnessing or attesting a signature, certifying or attesting a copy, and noting a protest of a negotiable instrument.
Yes. The statutes require that the Notary Public see the signer actually sign the document when the notarial working is that of a JURAT. In the case of an acknowledgement, the person is simply acknowledging (declaring, stating) that he or she singed the document. If the Notary Public do not know the signer, that person must also show indentification and sign the Notary Public journal.
The law requires an identification card with a photo and signature.
The statute doesn’t address expired IDs. The notary have to make the determination of whether the ID presented is satisfactory or not. The Notary must be satisfied that the person making the acknowledgement/verification is the person whose signature is on the document.
A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows a principal to choose a POA who they trust to handle their affairs for them12. It is used in the event of a principal’s temporary or permanent illness or disability, or when they can’t sign necessary documents1. A POA can be used for almost any financial purpose, including signing legally binding documents, operating bank accounts, paying bills, buying and selling real estate, managing investments, and collecting rent3. A POA can also be used to represent or act on another’s behalf in private affairs, business, or some other legal matter.

“Jurat” means a notarial act in which a notary certifies that a signer, whose identity is personally known to the notary or proven on the basis of satisfactory evidence, has made, in the notary’s presence, a voluntary signature and taken an oath or affirmation vouching for the truthfulness of the signed document.
Many people don’t know the answer to this question, so here’s a quick breakdown of each. A notary acknowledgment stamp is used to verify the signature on a document, while a jurat is used to swear that the information in a document is true.
The most common ones being jurat and acknowledgement. There are key differences, and key words, that can help you decipher which one to administer. A jurat is an individual swearing to the truthfulness of the contents of a document.
An affidavit is a written statement filed by an affiant as evidence in a court case. In order to be admissible, affidavits must be notarized by a notary public. The purpose of a jurat is for an affiant to swear to or affirm the truthfulness of the contents of an affidavit.
A notary acknowledgement ensures that the signer of the document is indeed the person named in the document. The function of the notary in this case is to verify the identity of the signer. On the other hand, a notary is asked to perform a Jurat, when the signer takes an oath or makes an affirmation.

Mobile Notary NV Makes Obtaining an Apostille Simple.
An apostille is a form attached to your US document that verifies the authenticity of the seals and signatures, and are commonly used when submitting documents to other countries.
Apostilling documents can be a complex process. In most cases, you must obtain an original or certified copy of the document you are required to apostille. Once received, the document will have to be submitted to the issuing office of authentications, such as the Nevada Secretary of State, the US Department of State in Washington, DC, or the embassy or consulate.
The biggest challenge in the apostille authentication process is the unique requirements of each document one must meet before the paperwork is valid for apostille. This is why One Source Process offers a commitment-free document review service that will ensure your documents meet all the requirements necessary for apostille or embassy legalization.
Our comprehensive document apostille services allow us to prepare, file, and obtain the apostille from the Nevada Secretary of State on your behalf – in the most convenient and professional manner. We can provide next-day apostille service for personal and business documents. But please keep in mind that federal documents through the US Department of State take more time. To get started: complete our CONTACT FORM.
In order to Apsotille a Birth, Death, Marriage or Divorce documnet, you will need to obtain a certified copy of your document. Follow this link to our FAQ section to find out how to get those certificates and certified copies.
Can a RON be conducted in any state?
Yes!
No matter which of the 50 states you call home, your documents can be remotely notarized. The only geographically constrained member of the transaction is the remote online notary themselves. As per the law, the notary must be within the borders of the state in which they are commissioned to perform remote online notarizations during the notarial act.
Remote online notarization permits anyone to get a document signed, verified, and sealed from the comfort of their own home or office. Signers meet a licensed notary online, present their ID and documents, and sign their papers digitally. After that, the notary verifies their identity, signs, and digitally notarizes the document. It all happens securely online with audio-video technology.
A notary conducts a lawful RON if they are physically located within one of the 41 RON enacting states. However, a signer physically located in any state may lawfully access a notary in a RON state to have an online notarization performed.
Where does the notarization have to take place?
The notarial act takes place in the location of the notary. Therefore, the laws of the notary’s commissioning state govern the validity of the notarial act. With RON, the signer’s physical location does not determine the law that applies to the notarial act.
According to RON laws, the requirement for a personal appearance no longer requires a face-to-face meeting with a notary. With RON, the definition of ‘personal appearance’ broadens. Audio-visual technology can satisfy the requirement for face-to-face contact. Physically, a signer can be located in another town, state, or even another country from where the notary is based.
What states have RON laws?
Visit MBA’s RON Adoption Map to see which states have RON laws. It also shows which states are in the progress of adopting RON. Similarly, you can visit your state’s secretary of state’s website to learn more about your state’s RON laws. Notaries must complete training to understand the requirements and legal issues surrounding remote online notarization.
States that permit RON have stringent requirements for notaries, and the notaries must show the platform they’re using meets the state’s standards for security and identity verification protection. They also maintain an online notary journal or eJournal. Therefore, they report every notarization. The eJournal is part of the platform use to conduct RON and is available to the notary as part of dashboard access. It also includes the ability to download it if needed.
Why use RON?
Remote online notarization adoption continues to progress, with the remaining states actively working through legislation to pass their RON laws. RON platforms provide security, speed, fair price, safety, and convenience to organizations and their clients. Also, when conducting a remote online notarization, the client can do it in the privacy of their home or office. They don’t have to worry about conducting private business in a public space.
Remote online notarization is a natural progression in our digital-first world, where everyone expects to conduct business online from anywhere at any time. States recognize that people need a convenient, secure way to submit important documents to professionals for approval.
Mobile Notary NV simplifica la obtención de una apostilla.
Una apostilla es un formulario adjunto a su documento estadounidense que verifica la autenticidad de los sellos y firmas, y se usa comúnmente al enviar documentos a otros países.
Apostillar documentos puede ser un proceso complejo. En la mayoría de los casos, deberá obtener un original o una copia certificada del documento que debe apostillar. Una vez recibido, el documento deberá presentarse en la oficina emisora de autenticaciones, como la Secretaría de Estado de Nevada, el Departamento de Estado de Estados Unidos en Washington, DC, o la embajada o consulado.
El mayor desafío en el proceso de autenticación de apostilla son los requisitos únicos de cada documento que uno debe cumplir antes de que la documentación sea válida para apostilla. Es por eso que One Source Process ofrece un servicio de revisión de documentos sin compromiso que garantizará que sus documentos cumplan con todos los requisitos necesarios para la apostilla o la legalización de la embajada.
