CT Notary Near Me FAQ's | Terms and Conditions
How Do I Get a Document Notarized in Connecticut?
To have a document notarized in Connecticut, the signer must appear in person before the notary public and provide satisfactory evidence of their identity. Acceptable forms of identification include:
-
A valid U.S. Driver's License
-
A U.S. Passport
-
A Government-issued ID (including state-issued IDs)
-
If witnesses are needed, please confirm whether you will provide them or if you’d like us to assist (additional fees apply).
If the signer does not have one of the above forms of identification, the notary may accept the oath or affirmation of a credible witness who personally knows the signer and is willing to vouch for their identity. The credible witness must provide their own valid ID.
​
Military IDs:
In Connecticut, a military ID is an acceptable form of identification for notarization purposes. However, it's important to note that, per guidelines, military IDs cannot be photocopied by notaries or signers. This is in line with federal regulations regarding the copying of military IDs (Defense.gov).
Requirements for the Signer:
-
The signer must be mentally competent, understand the contents of the document, and willingly sign the document in the notary's presence.
-
The notary cannot provide legal advice or prepare legal documents for the signer.
For more detailed information and guidelines, refer to the Connecticut Notary Public Manual.
