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.
Connecticut notaries are state-commissioned and legally accountable. Working with a licensed notary protects you if a document is ever challenged.
For documents used abroad, apostille certification is a non-negotiable step. We guide you through the full process from notarization to the Secretary of State.
Multilingual service in English, Spanish, and Kreyol means you understand every step of what you are signing, in your own language, without needing a translator.
Acknowledgements confirming a signer appeared before the notary and signed voluntarily.
Jurats administered under oath, certifying the signer swears to the truth of the document.
Certified copies of documents that cannot be obtained from an official issuing source.
Apostille letters and guidance on international document authentication through the CT Secretary of State.
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.

Our trilingual team also serves Spanish-speaking and Haitian Creole-speaking clients who need documents notarized in an environment where they can understand exactly what they are signing. No interpreter needed, no family member pressed into service, no room for misunderstanding on a legally binding document.

An acknowledgement is used when the notary certifies that the signer appeared before them and acknowledged signing the document voluntarily. A jurat requires the signer to swear or affirm under oath that the contents of the document are true, and the notary administers that oath. The document or requesting institution will specify which is needed.
