Before You Sign: What to Prepare for Notarizing Your Documents

What You Need for a Smooth Notarization
At Bixio Authentix, we understand that getting your documents notarized can feel a little intimidating—especially if it’s your first time. Whether you're finalizing a power of attorney, signing real estate paperwork, or preparing travel consent forms, we’re here to make the process easy and stress-free.

So, what documents typically need notarization?

  • Power of Attorney

  • Real Estate Documents (deeds, leases, loan documents)

  • Affidavits and Sworn Statements

  • Travel Consent Letters for Minors

  • Wills and Trusts (note: notarization requirements vary by state)

  • Business Agreements

  • Adoption or Divorce Papers

Whatever you’re signing, the goal of notarization is the same: to verify your identity and ensure you're signing knowingly and willingly.

Here’s what you’ll need to bring:
The complete, unsigned document (do not sign it ahead of time)
A valid, government-issued photo ID (like a driver’s license or passport)
Any witnesses, if your document requires them (contact us ahead of time if you’re unsure)

At Bixio Authentix, we make sure every detail is handled with care, professionalism, and respect for your time. Have questions or need to book a mobile notary appointment? We're just a message away.
