What this involves

Affidavit and Sworn Statement Notarization

An affidavit usually requires a jurat, which means two things. You sign the document in my presence, not before, and you swear or affirm to me that what it says is true.
That second part matters more than people expect. I will ask you to state it out loud. It is not a formality, it is the act itself, and a jurat completed without it is defective.
I cannot help you write the affidavit, tell you what it should say, or advise whether it will accomplish what you want. If the affidavit is for a court matter, an attorney should be looking at the wording.
Before I arrive

What to have ready.

Five minutes of preparation prevents the most common reason an appointment fails.

Common questions

Straight answers.

Do I sign before I meet you?

No. A jurat requires you to sign in my presence. If it is already signed, we may need to reprint it.

Can you help me word my affidavit?

No. Drafting or advising on document content is the practice of law and a notary cannot do it.

What is the difference between an affidavit and a declaration?

That is a legal distinction and your attorney or the court can explain it. Whichever you have, I can perform the notarial act your document calls for.

What identification do I need?

Current government issued photo ID showing your signature. Driver license, state ID, US passport, military ID, or tribal ID. If your ID is expired or your name has changed, call before the appointment rather than finding out at the table.

Can you tell me what my document means?

No. A Washington notary is not an attorney and may not explain, interpret, or advise on a document, or recommend whether you should sign. Questions about terms go to your attorney, loan officer, or escrow officer.
