Do you have important legal documents, such as a jurat or power of attorney, that need the seal of a notary?  Allow Michael Rooney, a San Francisco attorney and real estate broker, to provide your services for you. 

We are pleased to provide the following services:
 

Prior to scheduling a notarization, please read the following:
 
The document signer must personally appear before the Notary at time of notarization – not before, nor after.  A telephone call from the signer or the Notary’s familiarity with a signature is not a personal appearance.

The Notary must identify the signer through either (1) vouching of personally known reliable, uninvolved witness who is under oath or (2) current government-issued ID card with photograph, signature, and physical description.

The Notary must be impartial and disinterested and not notarize a document bearing Notary’s name or signature or that of Notary’s spouse or relative, or document which will benefit the Notary.

The Notary must make a record of each notarization and require document signer to affix signature – and, if necessary, thumbprint – in official journal of notarial acts.

The Notary must hold and scan document to note unfilled blanks and glean information (title, name of signer(s), number of pages, etc.) for recording in journal of notarial acts.

The Notary must not certify a copy of a birth certificate or other vital record or of a recordable document such as a deed.  Copies of these documents must be issued only by the appropriate public records custodian.
