Sometimes the notarial wording is not found on the document you need notarized. Such as handwritten or private documents. When this happens, the signer should ask receiving agency-what type of notarization they need. The signer may also seek advice from an attorney or choose the act yourself. (For signatures, choices include an acknowledgement, which proves you signed the document or a Jurat the signer swears/affirms what they signed is true.

If you cannot provide a valid government-issued ID, the notary may be able to identify you using a credible witness, who must swear under oath that they know you.

No, a notary cannot notarize a document that is incomplete.

In Texas, the fee is $10 per notarized signature, as set by state law. If you request mobile notary service, a separate travel fee may apply, which will be discussed and agreed upon before your appointment.
