Important Notice & Disclaimer
Notaries are not attorneys and are not permitted to provide legal advice, draft legal documents, or advise individuals regarding their legal rights, obligations, or the legal effect of a document. A notarial act does not:
- Validate or verify the truthfulness, accuracy, or completeness of a document
- Confirm that statements contained within a document are legally correct
- Guarantee that a document is enforceable or legally binding
- Determine whether a document is appropriate for your specific situation
- Replace the advice of a licensed attorney
The role of the notary is limited to verifying identity, confirming willingness and awareness, witnessing signatures when required, and completing the notarial certificate in accordance with Washington State law.
If you have any questions regarding:
- the legality of your document,
- how your document should be completed,
- whether the document protects your interests,
- or whether the document will be accepted or enforceable,
you should consult with a licensed attorney or the receiving agency before signing or notarizing the document.
It is the signer’s responsibility to confirm with the receiving party — such as a court, lender, title company, government agency, financial institution, or other organization — that:
- Electronic signatures are accepted
- Electronic notarizations are accepted
- Remote Online Notarization (RON) is permitted for the specific document type
Some documents and transactions may not be accepted by certain organizations, institutions, jurisdictions, or foreign countries.
If a document is properly executed and notarized but later rejected due to the receiving party’s policies, legal requirements, or acceptance standards, notarization fees are non-refundable.
By proceeding with a notarization appointment, the signer acknowledges and accepts these terms and responsibilities.
