Good to know
Bring the document unsigned
Most powers of attorney must be signed in front of the notary. Don't sign ahead.
Witnesses
Some Indian powers of attorney have spaces for witnesses. Tell us when you book so we can plan.
Photos and thumbprints
If your document asks for a photo or thumbprint, bring the photos. We'll notarize your signature on the document.
