Can you notarize a will?

Yes, we can notarize signatures on wills when appropriate under Tennessee law. Keep in mind that not every will requires notarization. If you’re unsure whether your document needs to be notarized, consult your attorney before your appointment.

Can you notarize a power of attorney?

Yes. We regularly notarize powers of attorney and other estate planning documents. The signer must be present, willing to sign, and able to demonstrate that they understand the document they are signing.

What identification do I need?

All signers must present a valid, government-issued photo ID.
Examples include:
• Driver’s license
• State-issued identification card
• U.S. passport
• Military ID (where accepted)
• Other government-issued identification as permitted by Tennessee law
Your identification should be current or otherwise acceptable under Tennessee notary requirements.

Do all signers need to be present?

Yes. Every person whose signature is being notarized must appear in person before the notary at the time of notarization.

Do I need witnesses?

Some documents require witnesses while others do not. If witnesses are required, it’s generally the signer’s responsibility to provide them unless other arrangements have been made in advance.
If you’re unsure whether your document requires witnesses, consult the person or organization that prepared the document before your appointment.

Can you provide legal advice?

No.
A notary public cannot provide legal advice, explain legal documents, or tell you which forms you should use. If you have legal questions, please consult an attorney before your appointment.

Can you prepare legal documents?

No.
Payne Mobile Notary Services notarizes signatures but does not prepare legal documents or complete forms on behalf of clients.

Do you travel to hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities?

Yes.
We regularly travel to:
• Hospitals
• Nursing homes
• Assisted living facilities

We understand these appointments often require flexibility and work to make the notarization process as smooth and convenient as possible.

How long does a notarization take?

Most appointments take between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the number of documents and signatures involved.
Loan signings and larger document packages may require additional time.
