A legal certificate is a signed statement that confirms a fact, such as who runs a company, that a trust exists, or that a document is a true copy held by its custodian. A notary identifies the signer and notarizes the signature. The notary does not verify the facts in the certificate and cannot certify a copy of a record.

NotarEaseNYC is a notary service, not a law firm. We cannot draft your document, give legal advice, explain its legal effect, or choose the right form or certificate for you. Your document must be complete before the session, and everything must be typed, not handwritten. Whether a receiving agency or company accepts a remote online notarization is up to them, so confirm before you book if you are unsure.
