A new year often brings fresh starts, new plans, and important paperwork.
Whether you’re organizing personal affairs, handling family matters, or managing business documents, there’s a good chance notarization will come up at some point during the year.
Many people are surprised by how common notarized documents really are—and how much easier the process can be with a mobile or remote notary.
In Washington State, notarization is often required to help verify identity, confirm willingness to sign, and add an extra layer of protection against fraud. While a notary cannot provide legal advice, we play an important role in helping ensure documents are properly executed and accepted by the receiving agency.
Some of the most frequently notarized documents include powers of attorney, affidavits, sworn statements, and real estate-related paperwork. Powers of attorney are especially common when someone is planning ahead for medical care, finances, or assisting an aging parent. Affidavits and sworn statements are often required for legal, court, or administrative purposes and must be notarized to be considered valid. Many of these documents can be notarized through Remote Online Notarization (RON), allowing you to complete the process securely from home.
One of the most common challenges people face is realizing a document needs to be notarized at the last minute
Real estate documents are another area where notarization is routine. Property transfers, refinance documents, deeds, and loan signings frequently require a notary public. With mobile notary services in Kitsap County, these documents can often be signed in the comfort of your home, office, or care facility rather than coordinating schedules around a traditional office visit.
Families may also encounter notarization needs throughout the year. Travel consent forms for minors, guardianship paperwork, and school or childcare documents often require notarized signatures. These situations tend to arise unexpectedly, which is why knowing ahead of time who to call can help reduce stress.
Business owners and professionals regularly rely on notarized documents as well. Common examples include contracts, business affidavits, vendor agreements, and corporate forms. For busy professionals, remote online notarization can be an efficient option, allowing documents to be notarized securely online without the need for in-person meetings.
One of the most common challenges people face is realizing a document needs to be notarized at the last minute. Planning ahead—especially at the beginning of the year—can help avoid delays and frustration. Even if you don’t have documents ready to sign today, understanding what may require notarization puts you in a better position when the need arises.
