Connecticut Mobile Notary Publics

Notarization isn’t just for formal contractual transactions: there are many situations that call for notary services. 

Whether it’s for business or personal use, the chances are that you’ll eventually need a document notarized in Connecticut.

Notarization is a simple yet effective way to prevent fraud and ensure that all signing parties agree with what’s stated on the paper. This holds true for a bill of sale, an affidavit, a will, or any other official document.

Important legal documents like these require a notary public’s signature. Without an official signature and notarial stamp, these papers won’t be seen as valid in the eyes of the law. 

So if you need a document to be notarized, you need a notary public. 

A notary public officer is an official public servant whose job is to identify the signatories, witness your signature, and ensure that all parties understand what they’re signing.

Once everything is verified, the notary will perform the legal action of stamping these documents to finalize and confirm their validity. 

Keep in mind that notaries are not equipped to give legal advice. They’re there to verify signers’ identities and officiate legal documents so that the government can accept them as legitimate. 

In Connecticut, you’ll need a notary for two notarial acts: 

• Acknowledgments: Acknowledgments are likely the most common notarization act most people will encounter in their personal and business lives. Unlike a jurat, acknowledgments don’t ask signers to confirm the validity of the document’s content. Instead, they are used to identify the signer and ensure that they sign the document willingly. The signer must appear in person and provide a proper photo ID. 
• Jurats: A jurat is when a signer swears to the contents of a document, such as an affidavit. It is a written form of going under oath, much like you would in a courtroom. So not only must the notary verify the signer’s identity, but the signer must also confirm the truthfulness of the document they’re signing. The signer must appear in person and provide a proper photo ID. 

When you need a notary for these actions, you can usually set an appointment with one in government offices like the county clerk’s office, in financial buildings like the bank, or in shipping stores like UPS or USPS. 

However, these on-hand notaries aren’t always available when you need them. Depending on their availability, you might need to set an appointment weeks in advance, making finding a notary feel like a daunting task. 

And working with a notary’s schedule can be complicated, especially in one of the most densely-populated states in the country where demand for services is high.
