What is a Notary Public?

A Notary Public is a certified official who verifies the identity of signers, witnesses the signing of documents, and ensures the process is conducted honestly and without coercion. Their role helps prevent fraud in legal transactions.

Why do I need a Notary Public?

You may need a Notary Public to validate and authenticate signatures on important documents such as affidavits, power of attorney, real estate deeds, loan documents, contracts, and other legal forms.

Do I need an appointment for notary services?

No appointment is necessary! Gentilly Mail & Copy Center offers walk-in notary services 6 days a week. Just bring your document and a valid photo ID.

What types of documents require notarization?

Common documents that require notarization include real estate deeds, loan documents, power of attorney, affidavits, sworn statements, parental consent forms, contracts, wills, and estate planning documents.

How much does it cost to get a document notarized?

Our notary fees are competitive and depend on the type and number of documents being notarized. Visit us or call us to get a quote for your specific needs.

What type of ID do I need for notarization?

To get a document notarized, you need a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license, passport, military ID, or a state-issued ID card.

Can you notarize a document for someone who is not present?

No, all signers must be physically present for a document to be notarized. The notary must witness the signature and verify the identity of the person signing the document.

Can you notarize electronic signatures?

Currently, Louisiana requires in-person notarization for most legal documents. While electronic signatures are valid for certain forms, most official documents still require the signer to be physically present.

Do I need witnesses for notarization?

Some documents (like wills) may require witnesses in addition to the notary. If witnesses are required, you can bring your own, or we can help arrange witnesses for an additional fee.

Can you notarize documents for out-of-state use?

Yes, documents notarized at Gentilly Mail & Copy Center are valid for use in all 50 U.S. states. Notarization is a legal process that provides cross-state recognition under U.S. law.

Can you print my documents before notarization?

Yes, we offer document printing services, so if you have a digital copy of the document you need notarized, we can print it for you on-site before notarization.
