π Do You Need Witnesses? Hereβs How to Know
Not every notarization requires witnesses, but some absolutely do, and missing them can delay or void your document.
Hereβs a simple guide:
β Some documents legally require one or more witnesses
β Requirements depend on the type of document and state rules
β Witnesses must be present at the time of signing
β They must also have valid ID in many cases
β The notary cannot act as a witness in most situations
When in doubt, itβs always best to confirm before your appointment to avoid delays.
