How To Get A Document Notarized? What Does It Mean?

I’m in the process of transferring my stocks from my parents sharebuilder account (my custodial account) to my personal account, now that I’m of age. I’m new to a whole lot of things, and getting a document (signature) notarized was no exception.

Notarized - signed by someone authorized to administer oaths, certify documents, and attest to the authenticity of signatures such as a notary public.

How to Get ‘er Done (I sincerely hate when people say that. So why did I just do it?)

Simply take the unsigned document to your local bank or credit union. They should offer this service free. All you have to do is have them look over the document, watch you sign it, and you’re good. Oh yeah, and they sign and stamp the document as well.

Just thought I would let the world know how this is done, cause I wasn’t exactly sure what a “signature guarantee or notary” was before doing a tad bit of research.

Good luck with your future legal document signing!

    I have been subpeoned to court. My doctor has written a letter stating I should not be put on the witness stand due to stress and anxiety. To notorize his documentation for the judge, do I then take the documentation to my bank, let them watch me sign it, and then they will notorize it?

    Yep, that’s how it should work.

    (I’m not a lawyer, or any legal authority, so take my advice for what it’s worth.)
