Apostille Global Services · Notary Guide

Who Signs, and Where? — $10

Before your document can be apostilled, a notary usually needs to witness a signature. But notaries cannot legally choose the certificate type for you — you have to tell them whether you need an acknowledgment or a jurat, who should sign, and in what capacity. This $10 guide gives you the exact answer to bring to any notary.
