JUMA provides licensed notary services in English, Spanish, and Kreyol. Whether you need an acknowledgement, a jurat, an apostille, or a mobile notary at your door, we handle every document with the precision and accountability your situation requires.
A document that is improperly notarized can be rejected by a bank, court, or foreign government at the worst possible moment. Getting it right the first time is not optional.
Banks, courts, and government agencies reject improperly notarized documents. One missing seal can derail a closing, freeze an account, or void a contract.

Mortgage closings, refinances, and loan packages require notarization that follows lender requirements exactly. A single missed signature or improperly executed page can send a closing back to square one. Our notary coordinates directly with title companies and lenders to ensure every page is signed, initialed, and sealed correctly the first time. We also witness and notarize power of attorney documents for healthcare and financial decisions, including situations where the principal is in a hospital or care facility and cannot travel.

An acknowledgement is used when the notary certifies that the signer appeared before them and acknowledged signing the document voluntarily.
