SERVING THE PUBLIC IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND

At Mode De Vie Professional Notary Services, I operate in full compliance with the laws governing Notaries Public in the State of Maryland.

• A commissioned Maryland Notary Public may perform notarial acts anywhere within the State of Maryland, including all counties and the City of Baltimore.
   

• A Maryland Notary Public may not perform notarial acts in any other state or the District of Columbia.
   
• The notary must be physically present within the State of Maryland when performing any notarial act.
   

• A notary commissioned in another state may not perform notarial acts in Maryland, unless they also hold a valid Maryland notary commission.

At Mode De Vie Professional Notary Services, each notarization is conducted with accuracy, integrity, and in full compliance with Maryland law. Here's what to expect during the process:

1. Personal Appearance Required
   The document signer(s) must appear in person before the Notary Public.
    
2. Identity Verification
   Each signer must present valid, acceptable identification (e.g., government-issued photo ID).
    
3. Notarial Journal Entry
   The Notary records the key details of the notarization in a secure notary journal for legal documentation.
    
4. Execution of the Document
   Depending on the type of notarial act: 
   • The Notary may witness the signature 
   • The Notary may administer an oath or affirmation
      

1. Completion of Notarial Certificate
   The Notary will fill out and sign the appropriate notarial certificate, either preprinted on the document or attached as a loose certificate.
    
2. Final Certification
   The Notary will: 
   • Sign and date the certificate 
   • Affix the official notary seal 
   • Include the notary commission expiration date
      

🔐 Your privacy and the integrity of your documents are my top priorities. I ensure each step is handled with care, compliance, and professionalism.
