Notary Services Available by Area
What If the Nursing Home Resident Does Not Have Valid ID?
If the signer does not have valid, unexpired government-issued photo identification, a credible witness option may be available in certain situations. This usually requires credible witnesses who personally know the signer, can present valid identification, and are not named in or benefiting from the document.
Credible witness requirements must be handled carefully. Please discuss the situation before the appointment so the proper plan can be reviewed.
Capacity, Awareness, and Willingness to Sign
A nursing home notary appointment can only proceed if the signer appears willing and able to communicate that they understand the signing. The notary must be able to identify the signer and observe that the signer is signing voluntarily.
If the signer is confused, heavily medicated, asleep, unable to communicate, pressured by others, or does not appear willing to sign, the notarization may be refused.
Witnesses for Nursing Home Documents
Some documents may require one or two witnesses in addition to notarization. Witness requirements are usually determined by the document, the attorney, the receiving agency, or Pennsylvania law.
Arlene Mobile Notary Services does not choose witnesses for your document and cannot decide whether witnesses are legally required. If witnesses are needed, the family should arrange them before the appointment unless prior arrangements have been discussed.
- All witnesses must present valid, unexpired government-issued photo identification at the time of the notary appointment.
- Witnesses must be at least 18 years of age.
- Witnesses should not be named in, financially benefit from, or have a direct interest in the document being signed.
- Witnesses must be physically present at the time the document is signed.
