Business and personal records
Documents customers commonly bring for notarization
People bring many kinds of documents to a notary. The document title alone does not determine whether it can be notarized, so the commissioned notary still has to review the actual record and requested act.
Contracts and agreements
Deeds and real-estate records
Powers of attorney
Trust and estate documents
Wills when the requested act and witness requirements are appropriate
Business authorizations and certifications
India-related passport, OCI, affidavit, and power-of-attorney paperwork when an eligible notarial act is requested
Other personal records requiring an acknowledgment, jurat, verification, proof, oath, or affirmation
A document can still be declined
A notary may need to decline if identification is insufficient, the signer is not present when required, the signer does not appear willing or aware, the certificate is missing or improper, the notary is disqualified, or the requested act is not permitted by North Carolina law.
