A Georgia notary public is a state-commissioned official authorized to perform notarial acts anywhere within the State of Georgia. Under O.C.G.A. Title 45, Chapter 17 — Georgia’s governing notary law — notaries public are empowered to witness and authenticate signatures, administer oaths and affirmations, certify copies of eligible documents, and perform other legally recognized notarial acts.

Did You Know? Georgia notaries may perform notarial acts in any county statewide — not just the county where they were commissioned. That means our notaries can travel to any city, county, or region in Georgia to serve your needs.

GEORGIA NOTARY LAW: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Understanding Georgia notary law helps ensure your notarizations are valid and accepted by courts, agencies, and other parties. Here are the key facts about notary public services in Georgia:

Georgia Notary Commission Term

Georgia notary commissions are issued for a four-year term by the Clerk of Superior Court in the notary’s county of residence. Notaries must complete a training course approved by the GSCCCA (effective January 1, 2025) and submit their certificate of completion with their application. Our notaries at Georgia Notary Services are always up to date with current commission requirements and continuing education.

Notary Seal Requirements in Georgia

Georgia law requires every notarial act to include the notary’s signature and official seal. The Georgia notary seal must include: the notary’s name as it appears on the commission, the words “Notary Public,” the county of commissioning, and the state of Georgia. Georgia accepts both embossed seals and rubber ink stamp seals. Our notaries always use fully compliant official seals.

Identity Verification

Before notarizing any document, a Georgia notary is required to verify the identity of the signer. Acceptable identification includes a current government-issued photo ID such as a Georgia driver’s license, state ID, U.S. passport, or military ID. Our notaries always perform thorough identity verification before proceeding with any notarial act.

Notary Journal Requirements (Updated 2025)

Effective January 1, 2025, Georgia notaries are required to maintain a written or electronic journal for all notarial acts performed for self-filers. Each entry must include the self-filer’s name, address, telephone number, the date, time, and location of notarization, the type of document, and the type of identification presented. Georgia Notary Services maintains meticulous records in full compliance with these updated requirements.

What Notaries Cannot Do in Georgia

It is important to understand that Georgia notaries are not attorneys and cannot provide legal advice, prepare legal documents, explain the content of contracts to signers, or practice law. If you need legal advice in addition to notarization, please consult a licensed Georgia attorney. Our role is to verify identities, witness signatures, administer oaths, and authenticate documents — which we do with expertise and precision.

MOBILE NOTARY SERVICES IN GEORGIA: WE COME TO YOU

One of the most valuable services we offer is our mobile notary service in Georgia.

APOSTILLE SERVICES IN GEORGIA

Need your Georgia documents authenticated for use in another country? You need an apostille. The State of Georgia is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, which means certain Georgia documents can be authenticated with an official apostille certificate for use in the 120+ member countries of the Hague Convention.

The GSCCCA (Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Cooperative Authority) is the only state agency authorized to issue apostilles for documents originating in the State of Georgia. At Georgia Notary Services, we assist clients by:

POWER OF ATTORNEY NOTARIZATION IN GEORGIA

A Power of Attorney (POA) is one of the most important legal documents a person can have — and in Georgia, it must be properly signed, witnessed, and notarized to be legally valid. Georgia Notary Services specializes in facilitating Power of Attorney signings with care and precision, particularly for:

Elderly clients who need a mobile notary to come to their home or care facility
Hospitalized individuals who need emergency POA notarizations before surgery or medical procedures
Military personnel deploying overseas who need to grant powers to a spouse or family member
Business owners who need limited POA or corporate POA documents executed

HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR NOTARY APPOINTMENT

Getting the most out of your Georgia notary appointment is simple when you come prepared. Follow these steps to ensure your notarization goes smoothly:

Step 1: Do NOT Sign Your Document Before the Notary Arrives

This is the single most important rule. Your signature must be witnessed by the notary in real time. If you sign your document before the notary is present, the notarization will be invalid and the document may need to be reprinted and signed again. Always wait for your notary.

Step 2: Bring a Valid Government-Issued Photo ID

Acceptable forms of identification in Georgia include a current Georgia driver’s license, Georgia state ID card, U.S. passport, U.S. military ID, or other government-issued photo identification. The name on your ID must match the name used in the document you are signing.

Step 3: Ensure All Blank Fields Are Completed

Georgia notaries are prohibited from notarizing incomplete documents. Make sure every field in your document is filled in — including dates, addresses, dollar amounts, and any other required information — before the notary’s arrival. Leave the signature line blank — that is the only blank your notary will complete with you.

Step 4: Have All Required Signers Present

Every person who needs to sign the document must be physically present at the time of notarization with their own valid photo ID. A notary cannot notarize a signature that was made in their absence.

Step 5: Know Whether Witnesses Are Required

Some Georgia documents — including certain deeds and wills — require witnesses in addition to a notary. If your document requires witnesses, you are responsible for arranging for them to be present. Contact us in advance and we can advise you on whether witnesses are needed for your specific documents.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT NOTARY SERVICES IN GEORGIA

Q: How much does a notary public charge in Georgia?
A: By Georgia law, the maximum statutory notarial fee is $2.00 per notarial act. However, notaries are permitted to charge additional travel and convenience fees, which are agreed upon separately. Georgia Notary Services provides transparent, competitive pricing with no hidden fees. Contact us for a quote based on your location and document needs.

Q: Can a Georgia notary travel to my location?
A: Yes. That is exactly what our mobile notary service is all about. Our notaries travel to homes, offices, hospitals, nursing homes, and any other location across Georgia. Just email us at Contact@GeorgiaNotaryServices.com to schedule a mobile appointment.

Q: Do you offer same-day notary service in Georgia?
A: Yes, same-day and emergency notary services are available based on notary availability in your area. We strongly recommend contacting us as early in the day as possible to maximize scheduling options. Rush service is available for urgent situations.

Q: Is online notarization legal in Georgia?
A: While Georgia has not enacted its own Remote Online Notarization (RON) law, Georgia law does recognize valid notarizations performed by notaries commissioned in states that do have RON laws, under Georgia Code Ann. §§ 44-2-21, 44-14-34, 44-14-62, and 9-10-113. For questions about whether an online notarization is right for your documents, contact us and we will help you determine the best path forward.

Q: Can a Georgia notary notarize a document in another language?
A: A Georgia notary is only required to be able to read and write English. The notary must be able to communicate with the signer to confirm identity and willingness to sign. If a document is in another language, the notary is not responsible for the content but can still notarize the signer’s signature. A certified translator may be needed for full document comprehension.

Q: What is the difference between a notary and a signing agent in Georgia?
A: A notary public is a state-commissioned official authorized to perform notarial acts. A signing agent (also called a loan signing agent) is a notary who has received additional training to handle real estate loan and closing documents. Georgia Notary Services employs both general notaries and certified loan signing agents to meet all your document needs.

Q: What documents do I need to bring to a notary appointment?
A: Bring your unsigned document (or documents) and a valid, current government-issued photo ID. If your document requires witnesses, make sure those witnesses are present with their IDs as well. Do not sign the document beforehand.

Q: Can a Georgia notary notarize documents for use in another country?
A: Yes. A Georgia notary can notarize your documents as the first step in the apostille process. After notarization, the GSCCCA can attach an apostille certificate to authenticate your documents for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. We can guide you through this entire process.

Q: How do I know if my notary is properly commissioned in Georgia?
A: All commissioned Georgia notaries are listed in the GSCCCA’s statewide Notary Public Search Index. Every notary at Georgia Notary Services is duly commissioned, fully trained, and appears in the official state registry.
