Document notarization is essential to the transferal of real property and validating legal documents. If you are buying or selling property, a home, land, car, or boat, you’ll become acquainted with document notarization. If you are executing a Will, Power of Attorney, or Registering an Out-of-State vehicle, just to name a few, document notarization will be an important aspect of the process.
Why do I need Notary?
The signing of most legal documents requires that a Notary be present to confirm:
- All Signer’s identities are verified.
- Signers understand the documents they are signing.
- Signers are entering into a transaction of their own free will, and not being coerced.
What is a Notary Public?
Notaries derive their authority from their state governments. They are “appointed” or “commissioned” by a top official of their state, generally the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State or Treasurer. Each state has its own unique notary laws and notaries must follow the laws of their particular state. This means that notaries in one state may have authority to perform duties that notaries in another do not—it depends completely on each state’s notary laws. There is no corresponding or overriding federal law governing notaries.

Some owners either don’t have tags on the vehicle, in the case of an antique, or may have a vehicle that they’ve recently resurrected from storage, and are unable to legally drive the vehicle to have it verified. This is where Savvysignerty comes to the rescue. We’ll travel to the vehicle, verify its VIN number, match it to the one on the HSMV 82042 form, and notarize the form, making the process much simpler for you.
Important: The Notary must be in the physical presence of the vehicle to verify the VIN.
