The Articles of Incorporation of the Company
If you are beginning a new business, you will likely need to acquire certain legal paperwork that is referred to as articles of incorporation. Before submitting these documents to a legal governing body, you must first get them notarized in order to comply with the requirements of that body. In that case, the Articles of Incorporation that you have submitted are most likely not going to be accepted.

Leases on Commercial Property
It is highly recommended that you have this paperwork notarized if you are signing a lease for a commercial enterprise since this may be a requirement. You are in need of a location to conduct business, and it is possible that you will be renting a sizable structure. You should probably get the documents notarized before trying to lease the building, or the owner of the building might refuse to let you do so.

Employment Agreements and Contracts
It is possible that you will be required to obtain the contract notarized by your new employer if you are going to be starting a new employment. You need to give the contract significant consideration because it contains important information about the terms, circumstances, salary, and responsibilities related with the role. Even if you decide to retain legal counsel to assist you in analyzing your employment contract, you are still required to get the document notarized. This demonstrates to the employer that you are willing to abide by the terms of the contract.

Legal Affidavits
If for whatever reason you are required to file a legal affidavit, you will most likely be required to have this notarized. An affidavit is a declaration that is made under oath and can be used as evidence in a legal proceeding. It is possible that you will be required to have a legal affidavit notarized before it can be accepted in this hearing, regardless of whether it is a criminal or civil case.

Document Copies That Are Officially Certified
It is possible that you will also need to have these documents notarized if you need certified copies of the documents for any reason. If you are applying to a new job or graduate program, for instance, you might be required to receive a copy of your transcript that has been officially certified. You should consider getting certified copies of your medical records in case you need them for a particular purpose.

Documents Required for Applying for a Passport
In most cases, you will be required to get these documents notarized before submitting an application for a passport. However, if you are applying for a new passport, it is possible that you may need to get these documents notarized before they will be approved. If you are renewing your passport, it is possible that you will not be required to get the renewal forms notarized.

Mortgage Documents
It is possible that there will be mortgage documentation associated with the sale of the building if you are purchasing, selling, or transferring ownership of a home. Before the law firm that is handling the transaction would accept these documents, it is possible that you will need to get them notarized beforehand. You are going to need to take a close look at the documents in order to determine which ones require a notary’s signature.
