Traditional Notary Services
Our Jurat and Acknowledgment Notary Services ensure that your documents are properly notarized in compliance with Ohio state laws.
✔️ Jurat – The signer must appear in person, sign in front of the notary, and take an oath or affirmation confirming the truthfulness of the document. Commonly used for affidavits, sworn statements, and legal declarations.
