Answers to Your Questions

Yes, but only if the signer fully understands the document being signed and can communicate directly with the notary in a common language. If the signer does not speak English, a certified translator may be required. The notary must be able to confirm the signer’s identity, willingness, and understanding without relying solely on a third party.

Yes! I understand that important paperwork doesn’t always fit into a 9–5 schedule. Peachtree ProSign offers flexible evening, weekend, and even same-day appointments to accommodate your needs. Additional fees may apply for after-hours or urgent requests.

A notarization verifies the identity of the signer and the authenticity of their signature on a document. An apostille, on the other hand, is an additional certification that allows a notarized document to be legally recognized in another country. Apostilles are typically required for documents like birth certificates, marriage certificates, power of attorney, or school transcripts being used abroad.

Yes. At Peachtree ProSign, we follow Georgia notary laws (O.C.G.A. § 45-17-8) which require us to decline notarization in certain situations. We will not proceed if:

• The ID provided is invalid or expired,
• There are signs of fraud, coercion, or undue pressure, or
• The signer is unwilling, confused, or unable to clearly communicate their intent.

This is never personal—it’s our duty to protect you, your documents, and ensure that every notarization is legally valid and secure.
