Provided Notary Types in Virginia

Our commissioned notaries are authorized to perform a variety of official notarial acts under Virginia law, including:

​

1. Taking Acknowledgments

• Definition: An act in which an individual, at a single time and place, appears in person before the notary, presents a document, and acknowledges that they have voluntarily signed the document for its stated purpose.

• Purpose: To verify the identity of the signer and ensure they acknowledge their signature freely.

 

2. Administering Oaths and Affirmations

• Definition: A formal solemn act where a person makes a vow before the notary (an oath invokes a supreme being, while an affirmation is legally equivalent and based on personal honor).

• Purpose: Typically used for sworn statements, testimonies, and affidavits where a principal swears or affirms that the contents of a document are true.

​

3. Certifying Affidavits or Depositions of Witnesses

• Definition: Certifying written statements made under oath (affidavits) or testimony taken down in writing for use in legal proceedings (depositions).

 

4. Certifying True Copies of Documents

• Definition: An act where the notary is presented with a non-public document, oversees or performs a photographic/electronic copy, compares it to the original, and certifies that the copy is accurate and complete.

• Limitation: A Virginia notary cannot certify copies of public records (such as birth, death, or marriage certificates) that are in the custody of a court or government recorder.

​

5. Verifications of Fact

• Definition: An act in which a notary reviews public or vital records to ascertain or confirm specific facts regarding a person's identity, attributes, or credentials/authorizations.

 

What to Bring

To ensure a seamless walk-in notarization experience, please bring:

• The Original Document: Ensure the paperwork is complete and ready. Note: Do not sign the document beforehand if your service requires signing in front of the notary.

• A Valid, Unexpired Government-Issued Photo ID: Required for positive identity verification.

 

Accepted Forms of Identification

To comply with Virginia verification standards, your ID must be current/unexpired and feature your photo, description, and signature. Accepted forms include:

​

1. Approved Government-Issued Photo IDs

• State-issued Driver’s License (from any U.S. state or territory)

• State-issued Identification Card

• U.S. Passport or U.S. Passport Card

• Foreign Passport

• U.S. Military Identification Card

• Permanent Resident Card (Green Card)​

• Certificate of United States Citizenship or Certificate of Naturalization

 

2. Healthcare Facility Exception for Expired IDs

Virginia law recognizes that signers in hospitals, nursing homes, or other healthcare facilities may face hurdles obtaining current government IDs. For a signer residing in a healthcare facility licensed or exempt under Virginia law, a notary may accept certain expired documents (such as an expired U.S. passport, foreign passport, or state driver's license/ID card), provided they are expired for no more than 5 years from the date of the notarization.

​

3. Alternative Verification Methods (When No ID is Available)

If a principal does not possess an approved, unexpired photo ID, Virginia law permits alternative paths to establish satisfactory evidence:

• Credible Witnesses: An impartial, honest, and reliable person who personally knows the signer can swear or affirm to their identity.

  • If the notary personally knows the credible witness, one credible witness is enough.

  • If the notary does not personally know the credible witness, two credible witnesses are required. In all cases, credible witnesses must present their own valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID.

• Identity Proofing (for Electronic/Remote Notarization): For electronic or Remote Online Notarization (RON), identity can be established via multi-factor credential analysis and remote identity proofing technologies that comply with state statutory standards.
