The person signing the document must appear in person before the notary at the time of notarization. The document(s) to be notarized should be original documents, completely filled out prior to the appointment, but NOT signed. If the signer does not have a valid ID, they may provide a "credible person" who knows the signer personally. The credible person must be able to provide a valid ID that meets the identification requirements above.
If your documents require the presence and signatures of witnesses, they will also be required to provide valid ID that meets the identification requirements above. I am not a licensed attorney, which means I cannot offer any legal advice on how your documents are to be prepared, or interpret their meaning for you. A Notary Public is a individual authorized by state government to verify the identity of a signatory, witness the signing of important documents, and administer oaths.
Documents are notarized to deter fraud and to ensure they are properly executed.
