​​Step 3 - Administering Oath or Document Verification

If commissioning, the commissioner/notary will administer an oath where you swear or affirm the document's contents.

If obtaining a certified true copy, you provide the original document (and copy) you want notarized to the notary to compare and to satisfy themselves that the copy of the document is a true copy of the original.

Please bring all documents you require to be notarized or commissioned. The notary public in charge is not responsible for the accuracy of any documents to be notarized. 

​DO NOT sign any documents prior to your appointment.
