Notary Services After Hours

Acknowledgments

An acknowledgment confirms that you signed a document willingly. Bring the complete document and valid identification, and wait to sign until you meet with the notary unless the document instructions say otherwise. This service can support common personal and business paperwork. Requirements may vary, so check your document before arranging an after-hours appointment.

Jurats

A jurat involves signing a document in the notary’s presence and taking an oath or affirmation that its contents are truthful. It is commonly used for affidavits and sworn statements. Bring the full document and acceptable identification. The notary cannot advise you on what to write, so confirm the form is complete before your appointment.

Copy Certifications

Some documents may qualify for copy certification, while others have restrictions or require a different process. Share what you need notarized when you inquire so the notary can explain whether this service may fit. Bring the original document and identification. Requirements depend on the document and applicable Virginia rules; a notary cannot certify every type of record.

Oaths and Affirmations

A notary can administer an oath or affirmation when your document requires a sworn declaration. You will make the statement in the notary’s presence, then follow the document’s signing instructions. Bring the complete paperwork and valid identification. If you are unsure whether your form needs an oath, check with the receiving organization before setting up an appointment.
