As professional traveling notary publics serving clients throughout greater Boston and across Massachusetts, it is important to understand the key duties of being a mobile notary. Proper identification, impartiality, record-keeping, education, and training are crucial aspects of the job.
Proper identification is critical when notarizing documents as a mobile notary public. Notaries in Massachusetts must carefully review valid photo IDs, like driver's licenses, to verify signers' identities before notarizing or providing apostille certification of documents in accordance with state laws. Signer verification prevents fraud and ensures document integrity.
Mobile notary publics remain impartial witnesses, as a Notary in Boston, favoring no party to transactions. They ensure through conversation that all signers willingly execute documents of their own free will. Impartiality and signer willingness are essential to upholding the notary oath.
All notarized documents require the traveling notary public's unique signature, stamp or seal, notarization date, and commission expiration date near signatures as proof. Accurate record-keeping in bound journals of each notarization, as mandated, provides an audit trail if issues arise.
Education is a priority, as notary publics provide information sessions to help the public understand proper apostille and notarization procedures, recognize notary fraud and abuse, and know their rights. Community outreach protects consumers.
