What Can Be Notarized in Arizona?

In the state of Arizona, a commissioned notary public is authorized to perform four main types of notarial acts. These services are designed to ensure your documents are legally verified and properly executed. Here’s what we can notarize for you:

Acknowledgments

We verify that you willingly signed a document and were properly identified. Acknowledgments are commonly used for:

• Real estate documents

• Powers of attorney

• Business contracts

Note: You may sign the document before your appointment, as long as you appear in person to acknowledge the signature.

Jurats

Used when you need to swear or affirm that the contents of a document are true. The document must be signed in our presence, and you’ll need to take an oath or affirmation. Common uses include:

• Affidavits

• Sworn statements

• Legal declarations

Copy Certifications

We can certify that a copy of a non-public document is a true and accurate reproduction of the original. Examples include:

• Driver’s licenses

• Passports

Note: We cannot certify copies of public records like birth or marriage certificates — those must come from the issuing agency.

Oaths & Affirmations

We can administer formal declarations of truthfulness. These are often required for:

• Depositions

• Legal testimonies

• Public office or official duties

Important:

Arizona notaries cannot notarize incomplete documents, documents with blank sections, or any paperwork where the notary has a personal or financial interest. All signers must appear in person and present valid government-issued identification that cannot be expired.
