Before you schedule your appointment

  • We suggest you don't sign or date the document (some documents must be signed and dated in the presence of a Notary)

  • Make sure you have all the pages of the document(s) being signed, not just the signature page

  • Make sure all document signers have state-acceptable ID

When we (as well as any additional document signers and required witnesses) at your appointment, the Notary will review your document(s) to determine the notarization requirements and whether we are able to complete the notarization. From start to finish, the typical appointment takes about 30 minutes.

Do Tennessee Notary Publics Need To Keep a Record Book?

Absolutely. In Tennessee, notary publics must keep a record book.

In other states, the Notary Public doesn’t have to keep a record book (also known as a journal) if there’s no exchange of money for the service.

Not so in Tennessee – in this state, notaries must keep a record book of all notarial acts performed, regardless of whether the client was charged or not.

Record books kept in Tennessee usually include the following information:

  • Date each instrument is notarized

  • Date of the notarization performed

  • Name and place of residence of the signer/granter/maker

  • Details on the type of ID provided

  • A description of the instrument being signed

  • Whether an individual is personally known by the notary public or was introduced to them

…and a few other details

Current ID is a Must!

CURRENT valid photo identification must be presented by all signers prior to any notarizations being performed.  Examples include CURRENT state issued Driver’s Licenses or identification cards, U.S. Passports or military identification cards.

IF YOU DON’T HAVE ID OR IT’S EXPIRED:

You MUST have TWO witnesses present during the signing, who MUST have ONE of the above mentioned forms of ID

What forms of identification do we accept?

1. A Tennessee Driver’s License or Non-Driver’s ID
2. A U.S. Passport (or U.S. Passport Card)
3. An inmate identification card issued by the Tennessee Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation

9. An identification card issued by a federally recognized tribal government
10. A valid consular identification document issued by a consulate from the applicant’s country of citizenship.
11. The oath or affirmation of one or two credible witnesses

What is needed for notarization?

Most requests for notarization involve the signing of documents. In all cases, the signer and any other witnesses must be present with the notary for the notarization. In addition, the notary will require:

• Jurat: The notary will ask you to swear or affirm the truth of the content. You must sign the document in the presence of the notary, even if you’ve signed it prior to coming to the financial center.

• Acknowledgment: The notary will ask you if you signed the document on your own free will for the purpose stated.

We suggest you don’t sign the document prior to visiting a financial center, since some documents MUST be signed in the presence of a notary and dated for the date of notarization.
