General Notary Services

General notary work is the everyday notarization most people need at some point — signing important documents in front of a commissioned Texas notary who verifies your identity, witnesses your signature, and completes the official certificate. Solace Notary makes it simple, private, and convenient.

Understanding general notary work

What it is, and what to expect.

What a notary actually does

A Texas notary public is an impartial, state-commissioned witness. During a notarization, the notary verifies each signer's identity, confirms the signer is willing and aware of what they are signing, and completes the notarial certificate so the document carries legal weight.

The two most common notarial acts

An acknowledgment confirms you signed willingly for the purposes stated in the document. A jurat requires you to swear or affirm that the contents are true, and you must sign in the notary's presence. The correct act is usually printed in the document's notary block.

Why it matters

Banks, title companies, courts, government agencies, schools, and employers often require notarized documents to deter fraud and confirm authenticity. A properly completed notarization helps your paperwork get accepted the first time.

What a notary cannot do

A notary cannot choose a notarial act for you, prepare or complete legal documents on your behalf, or give legal advice. If you are unsure which certificate your document needs, ask the receiving party or an attorney before your appointment.

How to prepare

  • Bring your complete printed document — every page, with no blanks left that should be filled in. You can also send it ahead of time using our secure Document Upload.
  • Have a current, acceptable government-issued photo ID for each signer.
  • Do not sign until the notary directs you, if the signature must be witnessed.
  • All required signers must personally appear before the notary.
  • Know which notarial act you need — the notary cannot choose it for you.
  • Upload documents at least 2 to 4 hours before your scheduled appointment, or 24 hours before a large packet review, so there is enough time for formatting, pre-tagging, and test printing.
  • Document preparation and pre-tagging is a $20.00 flat fee covering page review, sticky sign/seal flags, and organizing the document stack before arrival.
  • Documents are printed strictly as uploaded. The notary cannot draft, rewrite, or alter document text before or during printing.

If you would like us to print your documents, printing is $0.50 per page, including certified copies and uploaded documents. Once printed, this fee is non-refundable—even if you cancel or reschedule—because physical ink and paper have already been used.
