Helpful Tips
IDENTIFICATION
You must present satisfactory evidence of your identity. The identification document presented must be current or issued within three years of the date of services (in some cases), per Indiana State Law.
Notary Wording on your documents
If notary wording is not included anywhere on your documents, you must ask the notary for the type of notary certificate you need for that document. By law, notaries are not permitted to advise on what you should choose, but we can describe the purpose of each certificate to you.
The two most common types of notary certificates in Indiana are:
Acknowledgement
JURAT
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

JURAT
