Notary Tip Banks

A Loan-Signing agent for a bank or other financial institution is often a Notary public, However the Notary may are may not notarize documents for a non-bank related transaction ever if it’s your bank. Also, most banks will not notarize documents for non-bank customers as well. Call your local bank and inquire if they have a notary available and inform the notary in advance about the documents you have to make sure the bank does not have a policy that does not allow them to notarize a non-bank document.
Documents that might require notarization:

• Wills
• Deeds
• Bills of Sale
• Mortgages
• Contracts (including leases, offers, incorporation papers, and fictitious name change)
• Releases
• Legal Pleadings
• Summary Eviction Notices
• Bankruptcy
• Affidavits
• Real estate document

This list touches on only a few transactions that might need a notary.
If you go to your bank and find that the Notary on staff will not notarize your document because the document is a   non-bank or non-customer, Search for your nearest Notary by typing “Notary Public” and the zip code of where you are, this will narrow the search & give you a precise location of the nearest notary. Most are mobile and can come to you!
