Maryland Commissioned Notary Public serving Ellicott City, Columbia, Howard County, and Baltimore County. Mobile notary and Remote Online Notarization (RON) available.
// All 6 types of official notarial acts authorized under Maryland law
A declaration by an individual that they have executed a document for the purposes stated therein. Used for deeds, mortgages, powers of attorney, and contracts. The signer acknowledges their signature is voluntary and made with proper authority. Documents may be signed before appearing before the notary - the notary verifies identity and confirms the signature was made willingly.
A certification that a document was signed and sworn to (or affirmed) before the notary. The signer takes an oath that the contents of the document are true. Required for affidavits and sworn statements. Document MUST be signed in the notary's presence - do not sign before your appointment.
Administering a verbal pledge of truthfulness. An oath invokes a higher power; an affirmation is a solemn promise without religious reference. Both carry the same legal weight and penalties for perjury.
Certifying that a copy of a document is a true, exact, and complete reproduction of the original. Used for diplomas, passports, and personal documents. Note: Vital records (birth/death certificates) must be certified by the issuing authority.
Witnessing and attesting to the signature of an individual on a document. The notary verifies the signer's identity and observes the signature being made. Used when acknowledgment or jurat is not required.
A formal statement that a negotiable instrument (check, promissory note, draft) has been dishonored. The notary certifies that payment or acceptance was demanded and refused. Used in commercial transactions.
